Odd comment in HMRC manuals

Odd comment in HMRC manuals

Didn't find your answer?

In HMRC manuals, CA23510, here:

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/camanual/CA23510.htm

there toward the end a definition of what comprises a "hire car for a disabled person".

Nowhere in that section is there any statement as to how such a vehicle should be treated for Capital Allowances.  In context, the entire section is devoted to the question of whether a vehicle is or is not a "car" for CA purposes.

Leaving aside the fact that a "hire car" of whatever nature does not qualify for CAs at all, whether designed for a disabled person or otherwise, as ownership is a general precondition for qualifying for CAs, there is no statement in the manual as to whether such a vehicle is or is not for this purpose a "car".

Am I alone in my confusion?

With kind regards

Clint Westwood.

Short life assets

This refers to the ability of the lessor of such cars to disabled persons to still elect for short life asset treatment, despite the vehicle being a car, by virtue of Ss. 83, 84 & 268D CAA 2001.
