New Tax Savings for Corporate Partnerships
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have updated their Capital Allowances manuals to confirm that partnerships with corporate partners are entitled to claim first year capital allowances.
Freya Webb, Tax Associate, explains more in our latest article.
This means corporate partners can tap into incentives like full expensing and the super deduction, offering significant opportunities for tax savings on their annual returns.
What Does This Mean for Your Business?
Super-deduction and Full expensing
These first-year allowances offer substantial tax benefits, allowing you to deduct a significant portion of qualifying capital expenditures from your taxable income.
Specifically, the super-deduction provides a first-year relief of 130%, while full expensing offers a 100% first-year relief on qualifying expenditures.
For expenditure to qualify for the super deduction, the following criteria should be satisfied:
• An incorporated company or corporate partnership must incur the expenditure;
• The expenditure is capital in nature and incurred on plant and machinery that are main rate assets;
• The assets must be new and unused;
• Expenditure must be incurred on or after 1 April 2021 but before 31 March 2023 ;
• The assets should not be acquired from connected parties or intended for leasing and
• Notably, the assets must not be cars.
The conditions for expenditure to qualify for full expensing are the same as the above, except the expenditure must be incurred on or after 1 April 2023 but before 1 April 2026.
