(c) Notwithstanding anything in the preceding provisions of this section, in no case shall the amount of an annual allowance for any year of assessment in respect of any expenditure exceed such as, apart from the writing off falling to be made by reason of the making of that allowance, would be the residue of that expenditure at the end of his basis period for that year of assessment.

35. Balancing allowances and charges, industrial buildings and structures

Provided that no balancing allowance shall be made to any person where the building or structure is demolished for purposes unconnected with or not in the ordinary course of conduct of the trade or business for the purposes of which the building or structure was used in circumstances qualifying for annual allowances under section 34. (Replaced 35 of 1965 s. 18)

(3) If the sale, insurance, salvage or compensation moneys exceed the residue, if any, of the expenditure immediately before the event, a balancing charge shall be made and the amount on which it is made shall be an amount equal to the excess or, where the residue is nil, to the said moneys.
