Company computer: Expense or Capital Asset?

I find conflicting advice online regarding the tax treatment of a laptop or company computer for a Ltd Company. I won't share links but please take my word for it that there are 2 schools of thought: i) a company computer is a Capital Asset; ii) a company computer is an Expense, and reduces taxable corporate profits. Is anyone able to clear this up once and for all? Kind Thanks

Hi CabbageKelly,

A computer is classed as a capital asset of a company.
The company can usually claim capital allowances on items of plant and machinery.
Go to Claim capital allowances for more information.

Thank you.
