Bene ts of SBC
• A small business corporation pays favourable rates of tax on a portion of its
taxable income.

• Under section 12E (1), there is a concession on plant and machinery owned by a
small business corporation (SBC) or acquired by the SBC as purchaser under a
qualifying instalment credit agreement. If this plant and machinery is brought
into use for the first time by SBC for the purpose of its trade (but not mining or
farming) and is used by it directly in a process of manufacture or similar process
carried on by the SBC, it qualifies for a deduction equal to the full cost (100% of
the machine) in the year that plant and machinery is brought into use.

• Under section 12E(1A), a concession is granted on machinery, plant, implements,


utensils, articles, aircraft or ships (other than assets to which the 100% write-off
above applies) acquired by a small business corporation. This allowance applies
as long as the asset qualifies for the section 11(e) wear-and-tear or
depreciation capital allowance. The small business corporation may choose to
deduct, in the determination of its taxable income, either the wear-and-tear or
depreciation capital allowance (under section 11(e)) or an allowance equal to:
➡ 50% of the cost of the asset in the year of assessment during which it is or
was brought into use for the first time,
➡ 30% of its cost in the immediately succeeding year of assessment, and
➡ 20% of its cost in the year of assessment immediately succeeding that
year.

This capital allowance effectively applies to all the movable assets of the small
business corporation other than those qualifying for the 100% allowance. For
example, computers, a desk, motor vehicles and fixtures and fittings will all
qualify for this capital allowance. Where you have the option between section11
(e) and section12E, you will need to use the section that gives you the highest
deduction or results in a lower taxable income.
