Deductions - Expenditure specific to certain industries

DW 1: Airport operators

You could also call this:

“Rules for airport operators claiming deductions from shared income”

If you run an airport, you can’t claim a deduction for any money you spend or lose if that expense is charged against the shared income of the people you run the airport with. This rule comes from the agreement you have with those other people.

When we talk about ‘expenditure’ here, we also mean any provision that’s treated as spending or loss in the form of interest. You can find more about this in sections HR 5 and HR 6.

This rule is very important. It overrides the general permission that usually allows you to claim deductions.
