SCHEDULES

Section 7

SCHEDULE 1 Annual investment allowance: periods straddling 1 January 2013 or 1 January
2015

5Chargeable periods which straddle 1 January 2013

1 (1) This paragraph applies in relation to a chargeable period which begins
before 1 January 2013 and ends on or after that date (“the first straddling
period”).

(2) The maximum allowance under section 51A of CAA 2001 for the first
10straddling period is the sum of each maximum allowance that would be
found if—

(a) so much (if any) of the first straddling period as falls before the
relevant date,

(b) so much of the first straddling period as falls on or after the relevant
15date but before 1 January 2013, and

(c) so much of the first straddling period as falls on or after 1 January
2013,

were each treated as separate chargeable periods.

(3) But this is subject to paragraphs 2 and 3.

(4) 20In this Schedule “the relevant date” means—

(a) for the purposes of corporation tax, 1 April 2012;

(b) for the purposes of income tax, 6 April 2012.

Straddling period beginning before the relevant date

2 (1) This paragraph applies where the first straddling period begins before the
25relevant date.

(2) So far as concerns expenditure incurred before the relevant date, the
maximum allowance under section 51A of CAA 2001 for the first straddling
period is what would have been the maximum allowance for that period if
the amendment made by section 7(1) had not been made.

(3) 30So far as concerns expenditure incurred on or after the relevant date but
before 1 January 2013, the maximum allowance under section 51A of CAA
2001 for the first straddling period is—


A − B

(4) In sub-paragraph (3)—

Finance (No. 2) BillPage 136

(a) “A” means the amount that would have been the maximum
allowance for the period beginning on the relevant date and ending
at the end of the first straddling period if—

(i) that period had been a separate chargeable period, and

(ii) 5the amendment made by section 7(1) had not been made;

(b) “B” means the amount (if any) by which—

(i) the AIA expenditure incurred in the period mentioned in
paragraph 1(2)(a) in respect of which a claim for an annual
investment allowance is made, exceeds

(ii) 10the maximum allowance under section 51A of CAA 2001 for
that period if it were treated as a separate chargeable period.

(5) So far as concerns expenditure incurred on or after 1 January 2013, the
maximum allowance under section 51A of CAA 2001 for the first straddling
period is the sum of each maximum allowance that would be found if the
15period mentioned in paragraph 1(2)(b) and the period mentioned in
paragraph 1(2)(c) were each treated as separate chargeable periods.

First straddling period beginning on or after the relevant date

3 (1) This paragraph applies where no part of the first straddling period falls
within paragraph 1(2)(a).

(2) 20So far as concerns expenditure incurred before 1 January 2013, the maximum
allowance under section 51A of CAA 2001 for the first straddling period is
to be calculated as if the amendment made by section 7(1) had not been
made.

Chargeable periods which straddle 1 January 2015

4 (1) 25This paragraph applies in relation to a chargeable period (“the second
straddling period”) which begins before 1 January 2015 and ends on or after
that date.

(2) The maximum allowance under section 51A of CAA 2001 for the second
straddling period is the sum of each maximum allowance that would be
30found if—

(a) the period beginning with the first day of the chargeable period and
ending with the day before 1 January 2015, and

(b) the period beginning with 1 January 2015 and ending with the last
day of the chargeable period,

35were treated as separate chargeable periods.

(3) But, so far as concerns expenditure incurred on or after 1 January 2015, the
maximum allowance under section 51A of CAA 2001 for the second
straddling period is the maximum allowance, calculated in accordance with
sub-paragraph (2), for the period mentioned in paragraph (b) of that sub-
40paragraph.

Operation of annual investment allowance where restrictions apply

5 (1) Paragraphs 1 to 4 also apply for the purpose of determining the maximum
allowance under section 51K of CAA 2001 (operation of annual investment
allowance where restrictions apply) in a case where one or more chargeable

Finance (No. 2) BillPage 137

periods in which the relevant AIA qualifying expenditure is incurred are
chargeable periods within paragraph 1(1) or 4(1).

(2) There is to be taken into account for those purposes only chargeable periods
of one year or less (whether or not they are chargeable periods within
5paragraph 1(1) or 4(1)), and, if there is more than one such period, only that
period which gives rise to the greatest maximum allowance.

(3) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) any chargeable period which—

(a) is longer than a year, and

(b) ends in the tax year 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16 or 2016-17,

10is to be treated as being a chargeable period of one year ending at the same
time as it actually ends.

(4) Section 11(11) of FA 2011 is repealed.

(5) That repeal has effect in relation to cases where one or more chargeable
periods in which the relevant AIA qualifying expenditure is incurred are
15chargeable periods within paragraph 1(1).

(6) Nothing in this paragraph affects the operation of sections 51M and 51N of
CAA 2001.
