Under the super-deduction tax, for every £1 a company invests, their taxes are cut by up to 25p.
This capital allowance measure offers 130% first-year relief on qualifying main rate plant and machinery investments until 31st March 2023.
So as an example, if a company spends £100,000 on qualifying assets and deducts £130,000 using the super-deduction in year 1. That will result in a tax saving of £24,700!
What is considered plant or machinery?
Most tangible capital assets used in the course of a business are considered plant and machinery for the purposes of claiming capital allowances.
