Note: You do not include information in this schedule about depreciating assets that are subject to the simplified tax system (STS) capital allowances rules - see the publication The simplified tax system - a guide for tax agents and small businesses (NAT 6459) for information about the STS capital allowances rules.
Accordingly, if you are exiting the STS or have previously exited the STS and are claiming a deduction in respect of an STS item at the Depreciation expenses label (for example, in relation to a continuing STS pool), you do not need to complete the schedule if the amount at the label relates entirely to STS items. If the amount relates to both STS items and uniform capital allowance (UCA) items, you will need to complete the schedule but, in doing so, assets subject to the STS rules are to be disregarded.
