As a contractor or self-employed professional in Britain, you may be able to take advantage of the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA). The AIA is a tax relief that allows businesses to deduct the full cost of qualifying capital expenditure from their profits before tax.
The AIA has recently increased to £1 million per year, making it an even more attractive tax-saving opportunity for contractors and self-employed professionals. However, to take advantage of the AIA, you’ll need to ensure that your expenses qualify as capital expenditure.
Qualifying capital expenditure includes items such as machinery, tools, and computer equipment that are used in your business. It’s essential to keep accurate records of your expenses and ensure that they meet the criteria for capital expenditure to take advantage of the AIA.
