Commentary on Sections Glossary History Section 339: Crown or other person not within the charge to tax entitled to the relevant interest
1143.This section is based on section 8(13) and part of section 8(14) of CAA 1990. It is concerned with writing off qualifying expenditure for buildings which belonged to the Crown or persons not within the charge to tax.
1144.Subsection (2) provides that all the rules concerning writing off qualifying expenditure found in sections 331 to 336 are applied to writing-down allowances and balancing adjustments.
1145.The section refers to “a person who is not within the charge to tax” without the additional words “in the United Kingdom” used in section 8(14) of CAA 1990. The words are not necessary. Omitting them brings this section into line with the wording used elsewhere in CAA 1990 and ICTA. See Note 42 in Annex 2.
