Do not miss out on super tax break

Businesses are being urged to take advantage of the 130 per cent super-deduction tax relief before its March deadline.

Introduced during the pandemic, super-deduction was designed to help organisations continue to invest through the difficult times.

But from March 31, the support will draw to a close.

What is super-deduction?

Super-deduction is a tax incentive to encourage companies to invest in qualifying assets, from vans and cranes to office desks and chairs. It was intended as a tax break for those businesses hesitant about investing during the pandemic to help trigger an economic recovery.

How does it work?

If your company spends £10m on qualifying assets, you will deduct £13m from your taxable profits for a tax saving of 19 per cent – or £2.47m.

Why is it ending?

The Government introduced super-deduction in April 2021, but it was only ever intended as a short-term deal. It was part of a raft of support introduced for businesses post-pandemic to support growth and encourage investment.

Can I still take advantage?

Time is tight, but you can still make qualifying purchases ahead of the cut-off date.

What purchases would qualify?

Most tangible capital assets used in your business would qualify for super-deduction. These include:

  • Solar panels
  • Computer equipment and servers
  • Tractors, lorries, vans
  • Ladders, drills, cranes
  • Office chairs and desks
  • Electric vehicle charge points
  • Refrigeration units
  • Compressors
  • Foundry equipment

 

Bob Edwards, Founder and Managing Director of Landmark PD, said: “If you haven’t already taken advantage of super-deduction then I would encourage you to do so before the deadline.

“You may have office equipment that you have been thinking of replacing or you have your eyes on a van you want to add to your fleet…do it now and save your business some money.”
