Background

The software has two schedules for mineral extraction allowances, one for 25% allowances and one for 10% allowances. The provisions for allowances available at 25% are similar to those for plant and machinery and will apply to periods ending after 1 April 1986 (CAA 2001 s 418).

Both of these schedules offer the user the chance to identify each qualifying item of expenditure by both a description and the relevant licence number in each exploration area. The schedules can also calculate allowances where less than 100% of a qualifying item is disposed of where the user simply inputs the percentage disposal.

Developing the schedule

The schedule can be developed from the Fixed assets schedule.

Completing the schedule

Licence number, Cost, TWDV b/f, Additions, Proceeds

The user is required to enter licence number, cost, additions, disposal proceeds and percentage disposal if appropriate. The TWDV b/f cell will be completed automatically where a new period is built from the earlier year.

From FY2005, an additional column, TWDV of transfers in/(out), is present to enable users to deal with transfers under CTA 2010 s 940. Users should enter the amount of the transfer in/(out) using this column rather than the additions or disposals columns. The software assumes that any transfer takes place at the year end, so the amount entered into TWDV of transfers in/(out) is the TWDV transferred after the allowances due in the company for the period. The accounts NBV transferred should be entered using the Other rows on the relevant Fixed assets schedules.

Standard sub-schedules

This schedule has no standard sub-schedules.

Carry forward

On carry forward, this schedule is automatically developed in the subsequent computation if it is present in the prior year computation. In the subsequent computation, the tax written down value brought forward is entered automatically.

Error
How to solve it
Sign error

This error results from the sign conventions used within the software. This error can be resolved by clicking the

button.

Excess waiverThis error occurs when the writing down allowances (WDA) disclaimed are in excess of the amount of WDAs actually available. Ensure that the WDAs disclaimed are not in excess of the actual WDAs.
Allowances waived should be positive

This error results from the sign conventions used within the software. Writing down allowances (WDA) are deducted from the profit before tax to arrive at profits chargeable to corporation tax. If the allowances waived are entered as a negative number, this actually increases the WDAs claimed in this accounting period instead of deferring them until future accounting periods. This error can be resolved by clicking the

button.
