Capital Allowance. Capital allowance is only applicable to business activity and not for individual. The purpose of capital allowance is to give a relief for wear and tear of fixed assets for business. Some examples of assets that are normally used in business are motor vehicles, machines, office equipments and furniture.
It allows a capital allowance at a higher rate than the normal capital allowance in a year of assessment and hence the total capital allowances can be fully claimed within a shorter period.
The percentage varies depending on the asset category, such as 20% for motor vehicles, 14% for plant and machinery and 10% for office equipment and furniture and fittings. Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA): Under certain conditions, businesses may be eligible for ACA, which allows for a faster write-off of capital expenditures.
The main types of capital allowances are: Initial Allowance: This is a one-time allowance of 20% of the cost of the vehicle, available in the first year of purchase. Annual Allowance: After the initial allowance, businesses can claim an annual allowance of 20% of the remaining cost over the subsequent years.
