Section 289: Reduction of expenditure by reference to regional development grant
985.This section restricts a deduction for expenditure incurred to the extent that the expenditure has been met by a regional development grant. It is based on section 495(1), (2) and (7) of ICTA.
986.The corresponding rule for income tax is section 225K of ITTOIA (inserted by Schedule 1 to TIOPA).
987.The main restriction in respect of a grant is applied by section 534 of CAA. This section applies essentially the same restriction to the purchaser of an asset who buys the asset from a connected party, and where that connected party received a regional development grant on the original acquisition or construction of the asset.
988.The source legislation applies to expenditure taken into account under Parts 2, 3 or 6 of CAA. Section 84 of FA 2008 repeals Part 3 of CAA for corporation tax purposes with respect to expenditure incurred on or after 1 April 2011. The section therefore applies to Parts 2 and 6 of CAA and the reference to Part 3 of CAA has been retained for the interim period by way of a transitional provision in Schedule 2.
