At Autumn Statement 2023, the Chancellor announced that full expensing will be made permanent, allowing companies to claim 100% capital allowances on qualifying main rate plant and machinery investments. Full expensing is available to all incorporated companies, including farmers.
There are other generous capital allowances that are available to unincorporated businesses, including the Annual Investment Allowance. In Autumn 2022 it was permanently set at its highest ever level of £1 million a year.
The Annual Investment Allowance allows businesses to claim 100% capital allowances on qualifying main or special rate assets up to a total of £1 million per year.
