CIRD25025 - Intangible assets excluded from Schedule 29: assets outside FRS10/IAS38: general

FA02/SCH29/PARA73 - 76

These paragraphs exclude the following categories of assets:

The assets excluded from Schedule 29 by the provisions in these paragraphs, though a lawyer may sometimes view them as types of intangible asset, are outside the scope of FRS10/IAS38. They are not normally, therefore, within the definition of ‘intangible assets’ for the purposes of Schedule 29, which is founded on accounting practice (see CIRD11120). Why Schedule 29 does not simply rely on FRS10/IAS38 in defining the scope of the provisions is explained in CIRD11035.

An interpretation of any of the provisions listed above, therefore, is unlikely to be tenable if the effect is to exclude from Schedule 29 an intangible asset, which as a matter of generally accepted accounting practice is within FRS10/IAS38.

Where an asset is excluded from Schedule 29 by these provisions, the rest of the CT code will continue to apply to any transaction in relation to the asset without regard to the rules in Schedule 29.
