Balancing allowance on cars still available?

Are Balancing Allowances still available to sole traders with private use?

Didn't find your answer?

Are balancing allowances still available on cars?

Sole trader business.

car in private use pool.  now sold at tax loss.

Or is balance transferred to special rate pool and written down over coming years?  

If there had been no private use, I assume this treatment would apply?

It should be in it's own pool (so to speak!) and then, yes, you just claim a BA on disposal.

Don't forget to scale down the BA for the private use adjustment. Apologies if this was obvious to you!
