Corporation Tax Act 2010

Section 306: Capital allowances

1034.This section ensures that capital allowances arising from “special leasing” cannot be deducted from a company’s ring fence profits. It is based on section 492(6) and (7) of ICTA.

1035.The restriction does not apply to the extent that the leased asset is used in oil extraction activities by an associated company.

1036.Section 492(5) of ICTA is not rewritten as it is considered to be unnecessary. It prohibits the deduction of capital allowances given under section 258 of CAA against general profits. However, the deduction under section 258 of CAA can only be given against income from special leasing and not against other profits. Special leasing is defined in section 19 of CAA as leasing that is not part of any other qualifying activity. It is therefore not necessary to have a rule to protect ring fence income from this type of deduction.
