Full expensing was announced in the 2023 Spring Budget and replaced the 130 percent super deduction which came to an end on 31 March 2023. The relief is only available to companies incurring expenditure on new plant and machinery (with some exclusions) and was originally scheduled to last for a three-year period until 31 March 2026.
The Chancellor announced today that full expensing is being made permanent. Although this is being badged as the biggest tax cut in modern British history, in reality it is only of real benefit to larger companies who have the capacity to invest in more than their annual investment allowance limit, which already provides 100 percent relief for such assets, up to a maximum of £1 million.
