INTRODUCTION
The claim for capital allowances is an important element in the computation of a taxpayer’s income tax liabilities. It is a rather technical aspect with many areas that are not fully understood by taxpayers or preparers of tax returns. Schedule 3 of the Income Tax Act, 1967 provides specific
legislation for the capital allowances purpose. However, certain cases may be judgmental and the myriad of interpretational as well as practical issues need to be considered by preparers.
The Workshop aims to discuss in the provisions of the act as well as the rules, guidelines, and public rulings pertaining to the capital allowances in order to maximise the claim for capital allowances as well as manage the issues that could give rise to tax risks. At the end of the Workshop, the participants should be able to have a better understanding in claiming for capital allowances.
