Capital Allowances

Capital Allowances — What It Means for You

When you buy equipment, tools, machinery or other assets for your business, you claim the cost through capital allowances rather than as an ordinary expense, and the Annual Investment Allowance lets you deduct most of it in full straight away.

We make sure every qualifying asset is claimed through the right allowance, using the Annual Investment Allowance to write off equipment in full where possible, so your investment reduces your tax as much and as fast as the rules allow.

The Annual Investment Allowance lets you deduct the full cost of most equipment, up to ยฃ1 million a year, in the year you buy it, so a big purchase can substantially cut your tax bill immediately if claimed correctly.

The Detail That Matters

How Capital Allowances Actually Work

When you buy equipment, tools or machinery for your business, you claim the cost through capital allowances rather than as an ordinary expense, and the Annual Investment Allowance lets you deduct most of it in full straight away, cutting your tax immediately.

The Annual Investment Allowance

The AIA gives 100% relief on up to £1m of qualifying plant and machinery in the year you buy it, so a large equipment purchase can be written off in full immediately, sharply reducing that year's taxable profit.

Full expensing for companies

Companies can also use full expensing, 100% first-year relief on qualifying new plant and machinery with no cap, alongside the AIA, making equipment investment highly tax-efficient.

Cars and special rules

Cars have their own rates based on emissions rather than the AIA, and integral features in property (wiring, heating, lighting) fall into a special pool. Getting each into the right category maximises and protects the claim.

What often gets missed

Integral features in commercial property, and assets in a mixed-use purchase, are frequently overlooked, leaving relief unclaimed. We review your purchases so every qualifying pound is captured.

Businesses frequently miss capital allowances on integral features in property and mixed-use assets, leaving relief unclaimed, and sometimes claim cars wrongly, either way losing out on legitimate deductions.

Recent Client Outcome

How we accelerated a business's relief on new equipment

A business that had invested heavily in new machinery was spreading the cost slowly and missing the immediate relief available.

What we did. We claimed the full Annual Investment Allowance on the qualifying machinery, deducting the cost in full in the year of purchase, and reviewed their premises for integral-features allowances.

The outcome. Writing the machinery off in full sharply reduced that year's tax and improved cash flow, and the integral-features review added further relief they had overlooked.

Capturing the allowances in full, and not missing the integral features, accelerated the relief and cut the bill.
