I'm still concerned it's companies only
The Autumn Statement document put this extension under "Allowances from corporation tax". Does the £250,000 figure even apply to businesses that don't come within the charge to corporation tax?

AIA for income tax as well
Hi
No, it definitely applies for income tax purposes as well. This is made clear in the draft legislation, in two ways:
First, the structure is to amend the relevant section of CAA 2001, which applies for both income tax and corporation tax.
Second, the draft legislation makes specific reference to income tax (e.g. in defining "the relevant date"). The Explanatory Notes to the draft legislation also refer to income tax as well as to CT.

Tinkering is one word for it
I have to say to me this is just more evidence of the governments sense of panic in not knowing which economic levers and buttons to press to get the economy sorted. They reduced the AIA to try and secure more tax revenue and now realise they are strangling growth.
They should have left AIA at £100,000 and not have tinkered with the system back in April 2012.
I think that is it

They simply do not have a clue what to do. Simple lack of brainpower.
not that anyone will listen. but it is
1, Stop brushing problems under the carpet
2, Invest and actually deal with Tax evasion....this will provide billions in a very short space of time.
3, Eliminate waste and unneeded and unwanted services by privatisation and improved competition.
4, Invest in skills and start up capital to stimulate innovation and manufacturing rather than trying to buy in Jobs.
5, listen to small business.....big business can look after itself. Its not an act of god that our town centres have disappeared but government policy.
6, lower tax rates to increase the circulation of money.
Is there a reason we cannot vote for the solution?
Is this tinkering deliberate?
With with introduction of simplified accounting in next April CAs will be disallowed completely. Maybe the government is hoping to push the non represented tax payers into this regime by making the tax system deliberately more complicated with them possibly paying more tax than necessary. As for accountants the more complex tax gets, the higher the fees. So has the government shot itself in the foot in trying to "help" small businesses or is it trying to drive a wedge between represented and unrepresented taxpayers.

Do these transitional rules impact on deposits?
I paid a small reservation deposit on a new pickup (VW Amarok) before Christmas (one side of the transition) but will be picking up and paying the full finance deposit on the pick up in a few weeks time (the other side of the transition).
Thanks,
Will
