The super deductions announced by the chancellor Rishi Sunak means that now is the time for businesses to invest in growth. But what is it and how can you use it for your business?
The super deductions was one of the most striking announcements from the Chancellor’s spring Budget and the scheme allowed businesses to reduce their tax bill by 130% when investing in new plant and machinery to help their business grow. This is a huge increase from the 18% relief that these assets would usually qualify for. Your business is eligible for the scheme as long as you invest in qualifying assets between no and 31st March 2023.
Those qualifying assets include:
– Essential items for office refurbishment ranging from chairs and desks to computer equipment and servers
– Commercial vehicles including tractors, lorries and vans
– Key construction equipment including cranes, ladders and drills
– Assets to drive your business sustainability goals including solar panels and EV charging points
The Super deduction enables businesses to slash their taxes by up to 25p for every £1 invested.
For example, if you are a business in the manufacturing sector and want to invest £400,000 in your delivery fleet to be able to get more of your products to a wider customers base, you will be able to claim £520,000 capital allowance. This is a massive saving and when you consider the impact that the delivery could have on the growth of the business its real a no-brainer
And it’s not just vehicles and machinery that you can invest in. As we emerge from lockdown, the next challenge for businesses is to adapt to new hybrid ways of working which ultimately means investing in your workspace. Lots of businesses will have employees balancing working from home and coming into the office, which means that the office space needs to be more flexible which will mean new equipment. The savings you can make through the super deduction will ensure that new ways of working ares successful for yours business
As we look towards the future for the UK economy, it is vital that our SMEs are supported in every way possible to grow their business. The super deduction represents a recognition by Government that businesses need to be encouraged to invest in the future.
