Alles über Capital Allowances Calculator
📋Überblick+
Projects writing down allowances on plant & machinery pools: 18% a year reducing balance on the main pool, 6% on the special rate pool (integral features, long-life assets, high-emission cars), 100% first-year allowance on new zero-emission cars, and the £1,000 small pools write-off — with the multi-year tax saving at your marginal rate.
💡 Bewährte Vorgehensweisen
- New qualifying spend usually does better through the AIA or full expensing (100% year 1) — use the WDA pools for what they cannot cover.
- Cars are pooled by CO2: ≤50g/km new electric cars get a 100% FYA, others go to the main (≤50g used) or special rate pool (>50g).
- Claiming less WDA than the maximum is allowed — useful to preserve allowances against future profits.
🔢 Konkretes Beispiel
£100,000 main pool, £50,000 special pool and a £40,000 new electric car at 25%: year-1 allowances £61,000 (£18,000 + £3,000 + £40,000 FYA), saving £15,250 — about £116,231 of allowances over 5 years.

📚Glossar+
- Reducing balance
- Each year's allowance is a percentage of the remaining pool: £100,000 gives £18,000 in year 1, £14,760 in year 2, and so on — never quite reaching zero without the small pools rule.
- Small pools allowance
- When a pool balance is £1,000 or less at the start of a period, the whole balance can be written off at once.
