The enhanced UK capital allowances scheme enables businesses to claim 100% first-year capital allowances on investment in water-saving technology and products. The scheme is available to businesses that pay UK Corporation Tax or Income Tax - and that have sufficient profits for the allowances to be written off against.
• All businesses are now able to claim enhanced capital allowances, regardless of size, industrial or commercial sector or location
• Enhanced capital allowances permit the full cost of the investment in specified technologies to be relieved for tax purposes against taxable income of the period of the investment.
• The qualifying technologies will have to meet defined water saving criteria. They will be published in a List, and the criteria will be reviewed on an annual basis;
• There are no territorial restrictions on manufacturers wishing to place their products on the list or the source of products.
• Only investments in new and unused plant and machinery can qualify.
