Extent to which allowances to be taken into account.

319.—(1) The capital allowances for any year of assessment shall be taken into account under section 318 (1) only if and so far as they are not required to offset balancing charges for the year; and, where the capital allowances taken into account are allowances for the year of claim, relief shall not be given by reference to those allowances in respect of an amount greater than the amount non-effective in the year of claim.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the capital allowances for any year of assessment shall be treated as required to offset balancing charges for the year up to the amount on which the balancing charges fall to be made after deducting from that amount the amount, if any, of capital allowances for earlier years which is carried forward to that year and would, without the balancing charges, be non-effective in that year.
