AIA Increased to Encourage Investment in Machinery
October 2018
Yesterday, the chancellor Philip Hammond, announced the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) is being increased from £200,000 to £1m for two years to allow for factories to invest in machinery. This investment allowance means that businesses can deduct qualifying capital expenditure from their taxable profits to spend on machinery, tools and other business equipment. This comes into effect from January 2019 as part of the package aiming to boost businesses.
Carolyn Fairbairn from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) confirmed that the chancellor had created a ‘bumper package’ which is bound to inspire businesses to invest more in their factories and machinery.
