This guidance note explains the general rules surrounding the availability of indexation allowance (which was frozen at December 2017) on the disposal of company assets and provides information on the rebasing rules for assets held on 31 March 1982. For an overview of the general position regarding company disposals, please refer to the Corporate capital gains ― overview and Calculation of corporate capital gains guidance notes.

Indexation allowance

Indexation allowance is relevant to assets which were acquired before 1 January 2018. It is given to allow for the effect of inflation on the value of assets and is based on the Retail Price Index (RPI). When calculating the tax position on the disposal of a company asset, indexation allowance is deducted from the unindexed gain but can only reduce it to nil. It cannot create or increase a loss.

Indexation allowance has been frozen with effect from 1 January 2018. For disposals made on or after this date, indexation allowance is only given up to December 2017. No indexation allowance is available
