First announced in the spring budget of 2021 by Rishi Sunak.
What does this mean for my business?
This is excellent news for Ltd companies wishing to invest in new equipment and technology.
For purchases between 1 April 2021 until 31 March 2023, Ltd companies that pay corporation tax will be eligible to offset 130% of the asset value against their taxable profit in the first year.
Example 1 - £25,000 investment. Asset (net) cost: £25,000 Tax relief with super-deduction: £6,175 (previously £4,750) This is calculated as follows: £25,000 x 130% x 19% = £6,175 which equates to 24.7p tax relief for every £1 investment. Example 2 - £50,000 investment. Asset (net) cost: £50,000 Tax relief with super-deduction: £12,350 (Previously £9,500) This is calculated as follows: £50,000 x 130% x 19% = £12,350 which equates to 24.7p tax relief for every £1 investment.
Super Deduction key point summary:
Eligible for expenditure incurred between 1st April 2021 and 31st March 2023
Relevant for companies that pay corporation tax but not sole traders, partnerships, or LLPs (for these, the £1m AIA is still available until 31st December 2021)
Assets must be new, that is not second hand or used
130% Super-deduction capital allowance is available on all qualifying plant and machinery investments that fall within the AIA.
Great news for practices, trading as Ltd Companies, wishing to invest in
equipment, shop-fit and technology.
