This guidance note considers the interaction of APR and BPR. Sometimes APR and BPR may be available on the same assets and sometimes only one relief may be available.

Consideration is also given to the replacement of assets for BPR purposes where assets qualifying for APR are replaced with assets qualifying for BPR or vice versa.
