The amount of depreciation and profit/(loss) on disposal of fixed assets arising on assets not qualifying for capital allowances will be completed based upon the entries made in the non-qualifying assets data entry area.

Enter amounts of depreciation arising on other assets that do not qualify for capital allowances not already included in above.

Permanent differences

The entries for the permanent differences are taken from the corporation tax computation.  It is not possible to identify all entries that are permanent or timing differences so manual entries may be required to be made.
