The allowance is available for the cost of domestic items such as free- standing wardrobes, curtains, carpets, televisions, fridges and crockery.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of the deduction is based on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the cost of the new replacement item, limited to the cost of an equivalent item if it represents an improvement on the old item (beyond the reasonable modern equivalent); plus<\/li>\n<li>the incidental costs of disposing of the old item or acquiring the replacement; and<\/li>\n<li>less any amounts received on disposal of the old item.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is an important distinction between deciding whether or not a new item represents a replacement or an improvement. Where the new item is an improvement on the old item the allowable deduction is limited to the cost of purchasing an equivalent of the original item.<\/p>\n<p>HMRC&rsquo;s internal guidance&nbsp;provides an example highlighting the fact that a brand new budget washing machine costing circa &pound;200 is not an improvement over a 5 year old washing machine that cost &pound;200 at the time of purchase (or slightly less, taking inflation into account).<\/p>\n<p>However, if a replacement item is for a reasonable modern equivalent for example a new energy efficient fridge replacing an old fridge this is not considered an improvement and the full cost of the new item is eligible for relief.<\/p>\n<div style='font-size:smaller' class='im_source'>Source: HM Revenue &#038; Customs   Tue, 24 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0100<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The replacement of domestic items relief enables<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9157,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[143],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
