    AT A GLANCE

    Think of capital allowances as a pat on the back from the tax office for your business investments. When you splash out on new equipment or machinery or even build something for your business, capital allowances help you get a slice of that cash back by lowering your taxable profit. It’s like a reward for modernising and expanding your business.

    Capital Allowance FAQs

    What are the different types of Capital Allowances?

    • Plant and Machinery Allowances – This allowance covers a broad spectrum of assets, whether a shiny new machine or a fleet of cars.
    • Structures and Building Allowances – Do you have new construction or major renovation bills for non-residential buildings? This one’s for you.
    • Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) – This golden ticket allows you to write off the total cost of many assets against your profits in the year you buy them, up to a certain limit.
    • First-Year Allowances (FYAs) – Pushing you towards greener choices gives 100% relief on eco-friendly purchases in the first year.
    • Writing Down Allowances (WDAs) – When you’ve maxed out your AIA or bought something that doesn’t qualify, you can chip away at the cost over several years.

    Who can claim for Capital Allowances?

    Almost every business can claim these allowances, from solo entrepreneurs to large corporations. The main requirement? The assets must be used for business purposes. You claim these deductions through your tax return, keeping a keen eye on the rules to maximise your benefits.
