UK government extends £1 million tax break
A
£1 million tax break to stimulate investment in UK manufacturing, to support business confidence, is to be extended, HM Treasury has announced today.
Businesses, including manufacturing firms, can continue to claim up to £1 million in same-year tax relief through the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) for capital investments in plant and machinery assets until 1 January 2022. The extension of the temporary £1 million cap was originally due to revert to £200,000 on 1 January 2021.
