714.Subsection (1) is based on the general rule in section 532 of CAA. Subsections (3) to (5) are based on the exceptions to general rule in sections 534 to 536 of CAA.
715.Subsection (3) refers to a grant made under Northern Ireland legislation and declared by the Treasury to correspond to a grant under Part 2 of the Industrial Development Act 1982.
716.The term “Northern Ireland legislation” is defined by Schedule 1 to, and section 24(5) of, the Interpretation Act 1978. Paragraph 3 of Schedule 13 to the Northern Ireland Act 1998 provides an amendment which would cover Acts of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
717.The Capital Allowances (Corresponding Northern Ireland Grants) Order 2001 (SI 2001/810) lists various grants made in Northern Ireland declared by the Treasury to correspond to a grant under Part 2 of the Industrial Development Act 1982 in so far as they are made towards capital expenditure. The Industrial Development Act 1982 was repealed with effect from 22 July 2004. But a deduction under section 170 of this Act continues to be allowed for expenditure met by a grant corresponding to a grant under Part 2 of the 1982 Act incurred by the trader, or by a predecessor.
