Most reasonable expenses directly linked to earning your business income are deductible. However, capital expenditures are only if there are specific exceptions.
Depreciation is typically calculated on a straight-line basis for assets like machinery or vehicles. Additional allowances can boost depreciation in the first year.
Investments in assets can also benefit from capital allowances:
Going green? There’s a 50% additional allowance on top of the regular depreciation for renewable energy investments.
Oil and gas sectors can apply a depletion rate of 20% or 10% over and above the standard depreciation rates.
Certain costs like goodwill, fines, penalties, and income taxes are not deductible.
Start-up expenses are typically non-deductible as they are considered capital expenditures.
Interest on borrowings is deductible if paid on time. Bad debts are deductible, too, but only if they’ve been included in your income and turn bad within the fiscal year.
Charitable contributions are deductible, but only if they go to registered charities.
Contributions to registered pension schemes are favourably deductible.
Net operating losses can be carried forward for up to seven years, helping to reduce taxable income in future profitable years.
These are deductible as long as the amounts are no more than what would be paid to an unrelated party. However, there are specific rules around deductions for management fees and interest paid to foreign-related parties.
