Capital assets, such as property and equipment, are typically treated as capital expenditures rather than revenue expenses. This means they are not fully deductible in the year of purchase but are instead subject to Capital Allowances.
Capital Allowances are tax deductions that businesses can claim on certain types of expenditure for commercial properties. These include machinery, and equipment that are used for business purposes. These allowances enable businesses to offset the cost of these assets against their taxable profits, reducing their overall tax liability. Understanding and maximising capital allowances can significantly benefit businesses by improving cash flow and reducing their tax burden.
However, not everyone is familiar with the rules, regulations and eligibility surrounding Capital Allowances. Explore our FAQs to learn more
