Capital allowances are a form of tax relief that businesses can claim on capital expenditure (including machinery, equipment, cars etc.). Instead of deducting the full cost of an asset from profits in the year it’s bought, businesses can spread the cost over time, reducing their tax liability.
These allowances are not applied automatically, and they must be claimed in the business’s tax return. So choosing the right capital allowance advisor is important when making the most out of a claim
Capital allowances can be claimed on capital expenditure for plant and machinery, such as equipment and machinery. It can also include costs associated with commercial property such as developments, acquisitions, fit-outs, and refurbishments.
Capital allowances can be claimed by a range of UK taxpayers, including those who are self-employed, operating as a partnership, landlords and tenants: anyone or any company who has invested in a commercial property.
They can also be claimed for a variety of different commercial property types, as long as the building is being used for qualifying trade.
The super deduction scheme was replaced by full expensing from April 2023 onwards. Full expensing allows businesses to deduct 100% of the cost of qualifying capital expenditure within the same year, further incentivising investments in capital assets. In the Autumn Statement of 2023, the government announced that full expensing would be made permanent, which is great news for businesses looking to invest in capital assets going forward.
