Have you heard of super-deduction ?
When you buy certain new plant and machinery (including computers) you can claim 130% capital allowance.
What that means is you can write off more than the cost to purchase on your corporation tax bill.
It was designed to encourage you to invest in your business. It is quite a generous relief…..
Most accountants should be fully aware of it (and if you fancy a little nap, you can read the HMRC summary here)
