Was the total value of UK Capital Allowances claims minus balancing charges in the 2021 to 2022 financial year (HMRC Stat).
In the UK, capital allowances are categorized into different “pools” which determine the rate at which you can claim tax relief on your capital expenditures. Here are the primary cost pools for claiming UK capital allowances:
This pool typically includes most plant and machinery used in a business. The main pool qualifies for the Writing Down Allowance (WDA) at a rate of 18% per year on a reducing balance basis.
The special rate pool includes assets that have a slower depreciation rate and qualifies for the WDA at a rate of 6% per year on a reducing balance basis.
Introduced for contracts entered into on or after October 29, 2018, the SBA allows businesses to claim 3% per year on the cost of constructing, renovating, or converting non-residential structures and buildings. This allowance is claimed on a straight-line basis over 33 1/3 years.
Capital allowances are available for offices on expenditure relating to their fit out, refurbishment, construction as well as the purchase of new and second-hand properties. Qualifying items can include pieces of plant and machinery such as desks, computers, screens, soundproofing in meeting rooms, televisions, and kitchen fixtures. Allowances are also available for a variety of integral features such as electrical power and lighting, lifts, heating and ventilation, and hot and cold-water systems.
In addition to the various capital allowances available on plant and machinery and integral features, expenditure on items such as walling, flooring, doors and windows, and roofing may also be eligible for Structures and Buildings Allowance. This is providing that the construction contracts were signed on or after 29 October 2018.
