The 2021 UK Budget holds some hidden surprises for business owners.
The term “super-deduction” has been used, the idea is that companies will be able to claim a deduction from their tax bill if they invest in new plant and machinery for their business.
Under the super deduction, you are allowed a capital allowance of 130% on your qualifying plant and machinery investments.
The measure provides capital allowances for qualifying expenditure on plant and machinery incurred between 1 April 2021 and up to and including 31 March 2023.
There are a number of requirements :
Your business is a Limited or Public Company
The investment is in plant and machinery for the business (this includes, but is not limited to, refrigeration)
The equipment has to be new
This is applicable for hire purchase investments
