Have you heard of super-deduction?
When you buy certain new equipment (including computers) you can claim 130% capital allowance.
What that means is that you can write off more than the cost of the purchase on your corporation tax bill.
For example, if you spend £1,000 on computer equipment, it’ll reduce your corporation tax bill as if you had spent £1,300.
It was designed to encourage you to invest in your business. And it’s a generous relief…
Your accountant should be fully aware of it (and if you fancy a little nap, you can read the HMRC summary here)
If you want new computers in the next couple of years, we recommend you act quickly
