Super-Deduction of 130% on Plant & Equipment Purchases Ending Soon

There is still time to benefit from the super deduction… amongst the UK’s strongest tax incentive for business investment to date.

 

Super Deduction?

The super deduction is a capital allowance that allows a company to claim 130% capital allowances on qualifying plant and machinery investments between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2023, this is done when completing the company’s tax return.

The super-deduction is not available to unincorporated businesses and is not available on the purchase of second hand assets.

 

Why and when was the super deduction introduced?

Between October 2019 to September 2020, business investment in the UK had fallen by 11.6% as a direct result to the global Covid-19 pandemic.  As such the UK government responded with an aggressive tax incentive for business investment within the release of the Finance Act 2021, being the super deduction.

 

What can you claim the super deduction on?

Plant and machinery bought from new and used for the company’s trade, this includes but is not limited to:

  • Machines such as computers or printers
  • Office equipment such as desks and chairs
  • Vehicles such as vans, lorries and tractors (not cars)
  • Warehousing equipment such as forklift trucks
  • Tools such as drills
  • Construction equipment such as bulldozers or excavators
  • Some fixtures such as kitchen and bathroom fittings

 

Finally…

This is a very broad summary to a complex tax incentive, if you would like to discuss how this may benefit your business whether you are an existing or new client, please get in touch.

    A truly fantastic accountants. Unlike any other accountants we have had in the past. They are 100 percent on the ball, helpful with fantastic advice. Not just sound accountancy advice but advising the business as a whole in various areas. Strategic quarterly reviews to really delve into the business to make sure profit margins are where they should be, and if they aren’t, they’ll look into improvements that can be made. Nothing is too much and the phone lines are always open for advice. Unlike most accountants their focus isn’t just on completing your annual accounts and not seeing you again for another year. I cannot praise the team enough for all the hard work they put in! They really have shifted our focus onto the aspects of the business that we were perhaps neglecting!
