CA32850 - IBA: Other rules about buildings: Territorial limitation

CAA01/S282

A building outside the United Kingdom is not an industrial building unless the profit of the trade for which it is used are assessable under the rules that apply in calculating trade profits for income tax or Case I Schedule D for corporation tax.

Example Verlaine, a UK resident, builds a factory in France and leases it to Rimbaud. Verlaine can claim IBA on the factory only if the profits of the trade for which Rimbaud uses the factory are assessable Case I Schedule D. If Rimbaud's profits are assessable only in France there is no IBA due.
