Finance Bill 2003 [ Certified Money Bill ] : Second Stage.
Sections 44, 46 and 47 are further anti-avoidance provisions. Section 47 is designed to counter tax avoidance schemes involving a balancing charge, that is, a clawback of capital allowances, arising following the disposal of machinery or plant. These schemes seek to avoid the charge or to pass the balancing charge arising from an individual to a company, which would be taxable at a lower rate.
