From April 2021 until March 2023, the UK government is offering 130% capital tax allowance deduction on qualifying first-year plant and machinery purchases.<\/h4>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Usually qualifying for just 18% relief, in practical terms, the super-deduction of 130% means that the UK government is offering 25p off your company\u2019s tax bill for every pound you spend on qualifying plant and machinery, with no upper spend limit. In addition to this, the government is offering the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), which provides 100% relief for plant and machinery investments up to \u00a31 million threshold (its highest ever), until 31 December 2021.<\/p>\n<h2>Why offer these incentives?<\/h2>\n<p>The driving factor is to make the UK more competitive internationally, with an aim of lifting the value of the country\u2019s plant and machinery from 30th in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to first place.<\/p>\n<p>It will encourage companies who are considering investing in new plant or machinery to do so in the next two years. It\u2019s expected that UK investment will be boosted by \u00a320 billion a year.<\/p>\n<p>Business investment has fallen since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, but even without this, productivity growth has been slowing since 2008. The government is hoping that offering these generous incentives will stimulate business investment to promote economic growth.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=\u201dSee the super-deduction factsheet (link to external PDF)\u201d link=\u201durl:https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fuploads%2Fsystem%2Fuploads%2Fattachment_data%2Ffile%2F967202%2FSuper_deduction_factsheet.pdf|target:_blank\u201d][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Example calculation<\/h2>\n<p>As an example, if you spend \u00a350,000 on qualifying automation machinery and decide to claim the super-deduction, it means you can deduct \u00a365,000 when calculating your taxable profits. This will save you up to 19% of that (\u00a312,350) on your corporation tax bill.<\/p>\n<h2>Super-deduction on automation equipment<\/h2>\n<p>Some PALpack customers are already taking advantage of the super-deduction incentive scheme. The circumstances of the purchaser and equipment would have a bearing on whether or not the expenditure will meet the qualification rules. We recommend speaking to your company accountant for specialist tax advice to see how these incentives can work in your circumstances and ensure that you meet the qualification requirements.
