The Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme

The Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme is a key part of the Government’s programme to manage climate change. It provides businesses with enhanced tax relief for investments in equipment that meets published energy-saving criteria

100 per cent first-year Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECA) allow the full cost of an investment in designated energy-saving plant and machinery to be written off against the taxable profits of the period in which the investment is made. The general rate of capital allowances for spending on plant and machinery is 25% a year on the reducing balance basis.

ECA claims should be submitted as part of your normal corporate or income tax return. For more information please refer to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
