(a)for “the demolition of” substitute “ decommissioning ”; and

(b)after “which is or forms part of” insert “ , or when last in use for the purposes of the trade was or formed part of, ”.

(4)In subsection (3)(a), for “demolition” (in both places) substitute “ decommissioning ”.

(b)preserving the machinery or plant pending its reuse or demolition,

(c)preparing the machinery or plant for reuse, or

(d)arranging for the reuse of the machinery or plant.

(3B)For the purposes of this section—

(a)in determining whether expenditure is incurred on preserving machinery or plant pending its reuse or demolition, it is immaterial whether the machinery or plant is reused, is demolished or is partly reused and partly demolished; and

(b)in determining whether expenditure is incurred on preparing machinery or plant for reuse, or on arranging for the reuse of machinery or plant, it is immaterial whether the machinery or plant is in fact reused..

(6)For subsection (4) (entitlement to special allowance) substitute—

(4)If the person incurring any abandonment expenditure so elects, for the chargeable period in which that expenditure is incurred there shall be made to that person an allowance equal to so much of the abandonment expenditure to which the election relates as is incurred in that period.

(4A)If a person makes such an election, neither of sections 62(1)(b) and 62AA(3) applies.

(4C)Effect is given to subsection (4B) above by setting the amount (until wholly utilised)—

  • first, against any allowance under subsection (4) above for the chargeable period in which the amount is received (as previously reduced in giving effect to subsection (4B));

  • second, against allowances under that subsection for earlier chargeable periods (as so reduced and taking later such periods before earlier ones); and

  • third, against allowances under that subsection for later chargeable periods (as so reduced and taking earlier such periods before later ones)..
