There have been several changes to the deductibility of debits in relation to goodwill and other customer-related assets since the corporate intangible regime was introduced, and the treatment is dependent on when the asset was acquired or created.

For a summary of the changes since the regime was introduced, see the Decision table ― tax relief for acquisitions of goodwill.

•
