Annual Investment Allowance (AIA)

Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) to be permanently set at £200,000 for the duration of this Parliament.

The government is further supporting investment by small- and medium-sized firms (SMEs) by increasing the permanent level of the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) to £200,000 for all qualifying investment in plant and machinery made on or after 1 January 2016.

The government commits to maintaining the AIA at this level for the rest of this Parliament, providing a cash flow benefit to companies who invest.

The government says that 75% of the businesses who benefit are located outside of London and the South East, and the sectors with most companies benefitting will be manufacturing, wholesale and retail, and agriculture.

However, it can also provide up to £40,000 in immediate tax savings for qualifying properties purchased, qualifying property refurbishments or qualifying new build property.
