The last 18 months have been tough for many businesses as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. With energy pricing increasing by 30% in 2022, its increasingly beneficial to implement a sustainable and renewables strategy.
An increasing number of companies are investing in safeguarding and future proofing their premises, to prevent such crisis’ as Lebanon. Lebanon suffered a total power outage over the weekend, leaving its population of 6 million without centrally generated electricity for 24 hours.
Recently, Rishi Sunak, Secretary of the Treasury, presented plans to cut tax bills for corporations by offering a 'Super Deduction'. From April 2021, companies can claim up to 130% of their Capital Allowances back from the Government, for qualifying investments. The list includes both Solar PV panels as well as EV Charge Points.
The Workplace Charging Scheme is essentially a grant of up to £350, per socket, that eligible businesses can claim to reduce the cost of their electric vehicle charging points. It is a voucher-based system which makes it slightly more complex than its residential counterpart. The voucher is limited to 75% of purchase and installation costs, up to a maximum of £350 for each socket and up to a maximum of 20 across all sites.

From 1 April 2021 until 31 March 2023, companies investing in qualifying new plant and machinery assets will be able to claim:
· 130% super-deduction capital allowance on qualifying plant and machinery investments
· 50% first-year allowance for qualifying special rate assets
The super-deduction will allow companies to cut their tax bill by up to 25p for every £1 they invest, ensuring the UK capital allowances regime is amongst the world’s most competitive.
The government has offered unprecedented support for businesses during Covid. Even so, pandemic-related economic shocks and the accompanying uncertainty have chilled business investment. This super-deduction will encourage firms to invest in productivity-enhancing plant and machinery assets that will help them grow, and to make those investments now.
