What are Fixed Assets?

Fixed assets are long-term resources a UK business owns and uses for more than one accounting period, such as property, vehicles, equipment, furniture, and certain software. They appear on the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortisation, and are distinct from current assets like cash, stock, and receivables. Fixed asset purchases usually qualify for capital allowances against corporation tax.
