Super Deduction Tax on New IT Equipment

Government Super Deduction on I.T. equipment | System Force I.T. | Gloucester and Gloucestershire

What is Super Deduction Tax?

As confirmed in the Spring Budget, the U.K. Government has introduced a 130% ‘super deduction tax’ for businesses.

The March 2021 budget had a pleasant surprise: you can claim a 130% Capital Allowance on all new computer equipment and servers (which fall under the category of “Plant and Machinery”).

The super-deduction will allow companies to cut their tax bill by up to 25p for every £1 they invest.

This will be in effect from April 1, 2021, until March 31, 2023.

What comes under ‘Plant and Machinery’?

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

The plant and machinery must be brand new and not used for lease in order to qualify for the super-deduction.
