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

Posted on 13th March 2023 by Steven Burton

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had never filled out a tax return or needed an accountant until very recently. Steven Burton & Co have been absolutely brilliant, helping me all the way, asking relevant questions and helping me to complete the process.  I have dealt with Steven, Henry and their wonderful ‘office staff’, all of whom have always replied promptly and professionally but keeping the correspondence light and, at times humorous.   It’s always a difficult decision about whether an accountant is needed financially but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company and feel that they are worth their weight in gold, I certainly shall continue to use them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have recently moved our accounting to Steven Burton & Co. We are so pleased that we did. With support from the team we have moved from a compliance based last minute approach to filing to a planned and proactively managed approach. The increased visibility and data this is providing is allowing us to make better informed and timed decisions for our business. Thank you and we look forward to building on this early work over the coming year.
