WHAT DOES CAPITAL ALLOWANCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Capital allowance

A Capital allowance refers to sums of money a UK business can deduct from the overall corporate or income tax on its profits. These sums derive from certain purchases or investments, outlined in the Capital Allowances Act 2001. Capital allowances may be claimed for: ▪ The cost of vans and cars, machines, scaffolding, ladders, tools, equipment, furniture, computers and similar items you use in your business ▪ Expenditure on plant and machinery ▪ Items a business operator used privately before using them commercially ▪ Certain types of buildings - including improving a property, and converting space above commercial premises to flats for renting ▪ Research and development facilities and equipment Plant and machinery is claimed on the second fix. Where a capital allowances claim has been made on a property a new purchaser can only make another claim valuing the plant and machinery at the same rate as claimed previously. Further claims can be made on a property where it is extended or re-developed but only on those new elements of plant and machinery introduced to the building. The amount of the allowance depends on what is claimed for.
