Commentary on Sections Glossary Structure of Part 2 Sections 247 to 252: Trades, property businesses etc.
884.These sections make very similar provision for giving effect to plant and machinery allowances for trades, property businesses, professions, vocations and section 55 concerns. These are all activities which Part II of CAA 1990 treats as trades for plant and machinery allowances – apart from section 55 concerns – which this Act treats as a qualifying activity. See Change 1 in Annex 1. The sections are based mainly on section 73(1) of CAA 1990 which provides that allowances and charges are to be given effect in taxing a trade and the bits of Part VIII of CAA 1990 which explain what that means.
