Section 236 Additional VAT liability generates first-year allowance or annual investment allowanceF2
United Kingdom
Subsection (2) applies if—
the original expenditure was first-year qualifying expenditure, and
the additional VAT liability is incurred at a time when the plant or machinery is provided for the purposes of the qualifying activity.
The additional VAT liability is to be regarded for the purposes of this Part as first-year qualifying expenditure which—
is incurred on the same plant or machinery and is the same type of first-year qualifying expenditure as the original expenditure, and
entitles the person incurring the liability to a first-year allowance for the chargeable period in which the liability accrues.
Subsections (3) and (4) of section 52 apply to first-year qualifying expenditure constituted by the additional VAT liability as they apply to other first-year qualifying expenditure.
Subsection (3B) applies if—
the original expenditure was AIA qualifying expenditure, and
the additional VAT liability is incurred at a time when the plant or machinery is provided for the purposes of the qualifying activity.
The additional VAT liability is to be regarded for the purposes of this Part as AIA qualifying expenditure incurred on the same plant or machinery as the original expenditure in the chargeable period in which the liability accrues.
Section 51A(7) applies to AIA qualifying expenditure constituted by the additional VAT liability as it applies to other AIA qualifying expenditure.
This section is subject to sections 237 and 241.
