130% Capital Allowances on Plant & Machinery Investments

130% Capital Allowance on Machinery Investments

From 1 April 2021 until 31 March 2023, businesses in the UK can benefit from temporarily increased tax relief on qualifying plant and machinery investments.

The 130% super-deduction and 50% first-year allowance are generous brand-new capital allowances for investments in plant and machinery assets. Both will allow investing companies to lower their corporation tax bills.

This really is welcome news for manufacturers who are looking to improve their competitiveness and achieve superior levels of product safety. The super-deduction gives companies a strong incentive to make additional investments, and to bring planned investments forward.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak said: “With the lowest corporation tax in the G7, we need to do even more to encourage businesses to invest – for decades we have lagged behind our international peers. We need to unlock cash reserves so today I can announce the super-deduction. For the next two years when companies invest, they can reduce their tax bill with super deduction by 130% of the cost.”
