Hi, haven't got the book in front of me (as i'm supposed to working lol) but i think you apply a balancing charge if disposal proceeds are higher than cost, and a balancing allowance if disposal proceeds are sold at a loss. So at a glance of your figures, it think it would be a £2500 balancing charge on the main pool (assuming the van is in the main pool which I think it should be).
Don't know if WDA would apply before the charge though?? And also unrelated but what about chargeable gains - i suppose that would come after adjusted profits?
Hope that helps, could be wrong though.0 -
