Super-deduction for vans with the 2022 Annual Investment Allowance (AIA)
The government has announced a new 130% capital allowance super-deduction for qualifying commercial vehicles. Discover how you could save money on your new van at Sandicliffe.
The Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) is a yearly tax relief scheme that is offered by the UK government. This scheme is designed to help British businesses purchase their equipment at more affordable prices. In this blog, we will take you through everything you need to know about the 2022 AIA and how Sandicliffe can help you use it to buy a new van.
Super-deduction for commercial vehicles at Sandicliffe
The super-deduction for vans and commercial vehicles allows businesses to claim back up to 25p for every pound spent on qualifying machinery. This scheme also allows you to claim 130% in-year tax relief for main rate expenditure on new vans. Running until 31st March 2023, there has never been a better time to invest in your commercial vehicles.
Equipment and machinery that qualifies for this scheme is usually given an 18% main rate write-down allowance. This shows just how much of a saving the super-deduction is offering. Qualifying vehicles will also get a first-year allowance of 50% for qualifying vans and machinery that would usually qualify for a 6% special rate write-down allowance.
Why has the government introduced the super-deduction for vans?
The government has designed the super-deduction scheme to offer businesses a “strong incentive to make additional investments, and to bring planned investments forward”. This is in response to the falling levels of business investment that were triggered by Covid-19. During Q3 of 2019 and Q3 of 2020, business investment in the UK dropped by 11.6%.
