You must have entered your business income under "Income from self-employment".
1. Select the subsection "CCA" and choose "Class 13 SL".
2. On the page that appears on the line "Purchase date of the property" indicate the date in DD-MM-YYYY.
3. On the section "Additions in the year", go to the line "Duration (in months) and total cost". Enter the number of months of lease and, in the field to the right, enter the cost.
4. If this is your first year, on the line "Application of the half-year rule to current year additions" and choose which one is appropriate.
5. However, if you have carried over the previous year's data, class 13 will be reported correctly and you will have nothing to add. Make sure that the line "Application of the half-year rule" is left blank.
