Budget 2021

Capital allowances super deduction

HM Treasury (HMT) has published a factsheet covering the new super-deduction announced in the 2021 Budget, which will allow companies to cut their tax bill by up to 25p for every £1 they invest in qualifying assets.

Broadly, between April 2021 and 31 March 2023, companies investing in qualifying new plant and machinery assets will be able to claim:

  • a 130% super-deduction capital allowance on qualifying plant and machinery investments; and
  • a 50% first-year allowance for qualifying special rate assets.
