(b)expenditure incurred on or after that date to which section 33A (integral features) applies,
(c)long-life asset expenditure (within the meaning of Chapter 10) incurred on or after that date, and
(d)long-life asset expenditure (within the meaning of that Chapter) incurred before that date but allocated to a pool in a chargeable period beginning on or after that date.

(1)If part only of the capital expenditure on plant and machinery is special rate expenditure—
(a)the part which is such expenditure, and
(b)the part which is not,
are to be treated for the purposes of this Act as expenditure on separate items of plant or machinery.
(2)For the purposes of subsection (1), all such apportionments are to be made as are just and reasonable.
(1)Special rate expenditure to which this section applies, if allocated to a pool, must be allocated to a class pool (“the special rate pool”).
(2)This section applies to special rate expenditure if—
(a)it is incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of a qualifying activity, and
(b)it is not expenditure which is required to be allocated to a single asset pool.
(1)The amount of the writing-down allowance to which a person is entitled for a chargeable period in respect of expenditure which is special rate expenditure is 10% of the amount by which AQE exceeds TDR (see Chapter 5).
(2)Subsection (1) applies even if the special rate expenditure is in a single asset pool.
(3)In the case of expenditure in the special rate pool, this section is subject to section 56A (writing-down allowance for small pools).
(4)Subsections (3) and (4) of section 56 (proportionate increases or reductions in amount in certain cases) apply for the purposes of subsection (1) of this section as they apply for the purposes of subsection (1) of that section.
(1)This section applies if—
(a)section 104D (writing-down allowances at 10%) has had effect in relation to any special rate expenditure incurred by a person (“the taxpayer”),
(b)any disposal event occurs in relation to the item on which the expenditure was incurred,
(c)the disposal value to be brought into account by the taxpayer would (but for this section) be less than the notional written-down value of the item, and
(d)the disposal event is part of, or occurs as a result of, a scheme or arrangement the main purpose or one of the main purposes of which is the obtaining by the taxpayer of a tax advantage under this Part.
(2)The disposal value that the taxpayer must bring into account is the notional written-down value of the item.
(3)The notional written-down value is—
where—
QE is the taxpayer's expenditure on the item that is qualifying expenditure, and
A is the total of all allowances which could have been made to the taxpayer in respect of that expenditure if—
(a) that expenditure had been the only expenditure that had ever been taken into account in determining the taxpayer's available qualifying expenditure,
(b) where the item is a long-life asset, that expenditure had not been prevented by the application of a monetary limit from being long-life asset expenditure, and
(c) all allowances had been made in full.”
