you missing out on tax-free corporate investment allowances?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to running a business, you must keep up with the ever-changing industry you are a part of.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It is important to be aware of any allowances you are missing out on, so that your company can reap the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>So, what support is on offer?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Capital Allowances <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Capital allowances can lessen the amount of Corporation Tax you are required to pay.<\/p>\n<p>The Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) allows you to deduct 100 per cent of any eligible plant or machinery costs from your firm\u2019s profits.<\/p>\n<p>This allowance is now permanently set at \u00a31 million per annum.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that Corporation Tax will rise to 25 per cent from 1 April 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses with profits above \u00a350,000 will see the amount of Corporation Tax they pay rise as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Those who have profits of \u00a3250,000 or more will be paying the top amount and those with profits between \u00a350,000 and \u00a3250,000 will pay Corporation Tax at a tapered rate based on the marginal relief they receive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enhanced Capital Allowances<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your projects are eco-friendly, you can claim enhanced capital allowances.<\/p>\n<p>This type of first-year allowance can only be claimed for new and unused machinery and equipment.<\/p>\n<p>This can be claimed on top of the AIA and allows you to deduct the equipment\u2019s full cost from your company&#8217;s profits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writing Down Allowances <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve already claimed\u00a0AIA\u00a0on items worth a total of more than the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/capital-allowances\/annual-investment-allowance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AIA\u00a0amount<\/a> or the new asset does not qualify for AIA, you might be able to claim writing down allowances.<\/p>\n<p>These tax allowances let you deduct a percentage of the value of an item from your profits each year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SME R&amp;D tax relief<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have less than 500 members of staff, and a turnover of under 100 million euros, you may be eligible for R&amp;D tax credits.<\/p>\n<p>With this, you can subtract an additional 130 per cent of your qualifying costs from your annual profits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Super deduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From 1 April 2021 until 31 March 2023, businesses investing in qualifying new plant and machinery assets will be able to claim a 130 per cent super-deduction capital allowance.<\/p>\n<p>As well as this, a 50 per cent first-year allowance for qualifying special rate assets is available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happens to unclaimed tax?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can reclaim any missed capital allowances within 12 months from the end of the accounting period in which you acquired the costs.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is always best to get a clear hold on any reliefs you may be eligible for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For advice on related matters, contact our team today.
