Balancing allowance is the allowance available on disposal of an asset when the proceeds are less than the written-down value for tax purposes. It compensates for the loss in value of the asset beyond its depreciation.
A tax allowance is a threshold within the tax code that partially or completely exempts certain amounts of income, spending, or investment from taxation. This allowance can reduce the amount of tax that must be paid.
