The Annual Investment Allowance (AIA)
The Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) was introduced in 2008. AIA is used to deduct the full value of an item that qualifies, from your profits before tax.
Why is AIA important?
Annual Investment Allowance is an important consideration when purchasing a commercial property.
It is used to maximise tax savings and should form a part of the decision process. An expert can confirm what property-embedded fixtures, fittings, or PEFFs attract the best treatment.
AIA can be claimed on most plant and machinery up to the AIA amount. This amount is £1 million.
AIA also highlights the importance of establishing the capital allowances position prior to the completion of a property.
