Background

Agricultural buildings allowances (ABAs) give relief for the capital cost of constructing an agricultural building or other works.

This schedule provides a summary of several ABA sites. Analyses for underlying individual sites can be developed as sub-schedules of the summary. Total additions and disposals are reconciled to C and C2.

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 in the stub period.

Developing the schedule

The schedule is developed from the Fixed assets schedule.

Completing the schedule

Data should not be entered directly onto this summary schedule. Instead, develop individual ABA sites from this schedule and enter details onto those.

5 To the top


Standard sub-schedules

There is a standard sub-schedule, ABA site, which provides ABA calculations for an individual site. Totals of all calculations from the sub-schedule are transferred to a single row on the ABA summary, and hence no entries by the user are required on those rows.

Carry forward

The software will carry forward each sub-schedule site when the new period is built.

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. Agricultural buildings allowances (ABA) 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 ABAs claimed in this accounting period instead of deferring them until future accounting periods. This error can be resolved by clicking the button.
