Up until 31st December 2020, SMEs can take advantage of the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) for machinery investments between £200,000 – £1m, which includes air conditioning and refrigeration.
The scheme, which was introduced by the government in 2008, was granted a 2-year extension earlier this year, helping even more businesses invest and grow. It allows businesses to write off 100% of qualifying capital expenditure against taxable profits for the same period.
Despite the obvious business benefits of this scheme, according to a survey by Close Brothers Asset Finance, a staggering 58% of SMEs are completely unaware of the AIA increase, with just 13% of companies planning to significantly increase investment this year.
How we can help
AIA is available for most assets purchased by a business, including tools, vans, machinery, computers, as well as air conditioning systems and refrigeration equipment.
