Section 63A. Special deduction for qualifying capital expenditure.


(1) In ascertaining the statutory income of a unit trust from a source consisting of the derivation of rent from the lettering of real property for a year of assessment, there shall be deducted from the adjusted income from that source for that year of assessment an allowance made under subsection (2) in respect of qualifying capital expenditure.

(2) Where a unit trust has, for the purposes of deriving rent from the letting of real property, incurred qualifying capital expenditure in relation to an asset and at the end of the basis period for a year of assessment the unit trust was the owner of the asset and the asset was in use for that purpose, there shall be made to the unit trust in relation to that source for that year an allowance equal to one tenth of that expenditure:

Provided that where, by reason of an absence or insufficiency of adjusted income from that source for the basis period for that year of assessment, effect cannot be given or cannot be given in full to any allowance falling to be made for that year in relation to that source, that allowance which has not been so made shall not be made to the unit trust for any subsequent year of assessment.

(3) Where at the end of the basis period for any year of assessment the residual expenditure in relation to an asset in respect of which qualifying capital expenditure has been incurred in zero, or the asset is no longer owned or in use by the unit trust, no allowance shall be made to the unit trust for the year of assessment and subsequent years of assessment.

(4) For the purposes of subsection (2), qualifying capital expenditure shall be deemed to have been incurred on the day on which the machinery or plant is capable of being used for the purposes of deriving rent from the letting of real property.

(5) For the purposes of this section-

"qualifying capital expenditure" in relation to an asset is capital expenditure incurred on the provision of machinery or plant used for the purposes of deriving rent from the letting of real property, including-

"residual expenditure" at any date in relation to an asset in respect of which qualifying capital expenditure has been incurred by a unit trust shall be the total qualifying capital expenditure incurred on the provision of the asset before that date reduced by the allowance falling to be made in relation to that asset for any year of assessment before that date.
