📋Представяне+
Compares the two 100% first-year routes on qualifying plant & machinery (2025/26): the £1,000,000 Annual Investment Allowance (all businesses) versus full expensing (companies buying NEW main-rate assets, uncapped, with 50% first-year on special-rate assets) — allocating AIA to special-rate spend first, since it would otherwise only earn 6% a year.
💡 Добри практики
- Allocate your AIA to special-rate spend first — main-rate assets fall back to 18% a year, special-rate only 6%.
- Full expensing is companies-only and new-assets-only; sole traders and partnerships rely on the AIA.
- Selling a fully-expensed asset triggers an immediate balancing charge — plan disposals.
🔢 Конкретен пример
Company buys £1.5m of new main-rate plant: AIA route deducts £1.09m in year 1 (£1m AIA + 18% of the rest), full expensing deducts the whole £1.5m — saving £375,000 of corporation tax at 25%.

FAQ — Annual Investment Allowance Calculator
What is the AIA limit?+
£1,000,000 a year, permanently, for all businesses (companies, sole traders, partnerships) on qualifying plant & machinery — cars excluded.
AIA or full expensing — which is better?+
For companies buying new main-rate assets above £1m, full expensing wins (uncapped 100%). Below £1m the routes are equivalent; for used assets or unincorporated businesses, only the AIA applies.
What happens above the limits?+
Excess main-rate spend earns an 18% writing down allowance per year (reducing balance); special-rate assets (integral features, long-life) only 6% — or a 50% first-year allowance under full expensing.
