Background

This schedule provides IBA calculations for a single site. Total additions and disposals are reconciled to Fixed Assets (C schedule) and Fixed Assets Disposals (C1 schedule).

5 To the top


Developing the schedule

As many copies as are required of the schedule may be obtained using the Develop option on the IBA multi site schedule; totals are carried up to the parent schedule.

Completing the schedule

Year, Description and Original cost

The user is required to enter for each row, with typically one row per year of additions, details of the year of acquisition and the qualifying original cost.

Negative costs and allowances

When there has been an over accrual the schedule will allow entry of a negative original cost, and calculate corresponding allowances.

Annual WDA rate (override)

The default rate set for writing down allowances (WDA) is set as 4% for files before FY2012 and 0% for FY2012 files and onwards. This can be altered as appropriate for old or secondhand buildings. The calculation of writing down allowances takes account of the length of the period. Where necessary, a rate for initial allowances can be entered.

Phasing out of industrial buildings allowance

The allowance for industrial buildings is going to be progressively reduced from 1 April 2008 and will be withdrawn from April 2011. Therefore the WDA will be reduced by 25% for FY 2008, 50% for FY 2009, 75% for FY 2010 and will be withdrawn completely thereafter.

Writing down allowances (WDA) waived

By default any writing down allowances (WDA) waived are apportioned across assets automatically. For FY 2005 files and onwards it is possible to manually allocate WDA waived across individual assets by means of a selector on the schedule. Data entry cells will be displayed for this purpose.

Relevant proceeds

In the case of a disposal, the proceeds entered must relate to the whole of the expenditure on the row concerned. Thus, if there is a part-disposal of an item of expenditure previously entered on one row, the expenditure should be split between two rows before processing the disposal. The proceeds entered should be limited to cost.

Where there have been negative allowances, the proceeds entered must be a positive amount equal to the cost. As this would only occur if there was a larger positive allowance for the same buildings, the total correct proceeds can be made up by entering the correct proceeds plus the opposite amount against this allowance.

Where an industrial building is disposed of a balancing charge/allowance will automatically be calculated. In order to avoid this being calculated, for example where the industrial building is beyond the end of its tax life, set the Relevant proceeds equal, in amount, to the remaining residue. In order for this to reconcile to the Fixed Assets Disposal schedule an equivalent entry will need to be made in the relevant Proceeds if restricted cell.

Balancing allowance/Balancing charge

These are calculated automatically.

Investment companies

The investment company variant of the schedule is identical to the trading company version, except that allowances are treated as allowances by discharge or repayment of tax. For long periods of account, the movement is duplicated for the stub period.

Withdrawal of balancing adjustments

The user should use the balancing ?Withdrawal of balancing adjustments? cell to extinguish any balancing adjustments on the sale of Industrial Buildings.

Please note that, for financial year 2007, the help for the ?Fixed asset timing differences? schedule details the workaround for the deferred tax schedules where deferred tax balances are released to the P&L.

Standard sub-schedules

The schedule has no standard sub-schedules.

Carry forward

On carry forward, each line in the earlier year will cause a line to be inserted on the same schedule for the later year. Details of year, cost and rate of writing down allowance will be transferred, and tax written down values carried forward and brought forward will be linked.

Totals carried forward and brought forward will be cross-checked.

Rows with disposal values will not be carried forward. Rows with zero residue c/f will be carried forward to the next period and should be mannually deleted when the tax life comes to an end.

Error
How to solve it
Excess waiver This 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.
Sign error

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

button.

Allowances waived should be positive

This error results from the sign conventions used within the software. Industrial buildings allowances (IBA) 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 IBAs claimed in this accounting period instead of deferring them until future accounting periods. This error can be resolved by clicking the

button.

Remove manually entered values above or select to manually allocate WDA waivedFor FY 2005 files and onwards where the user has selected not to manually allocate writing down allowances (WDA) waived but has made manual entries these entries are not relevant and should be removed.
