Capital Allowances & Full Expensing Planner

Overview

Capital allowances changed significantly from April 2026: the main writing-down allowance fell from 18% to 14% (with a hybrid rate for periods that straddle the change), a new 40% first-year allowance arrived for main-pool assets, and full expensing, the £1m Annual Investment Allowance and 100% allowances for electric cars and charge points continue. This planner records every addition and disposal, chooses the best allowance for each, runs the main pool, special rate pool and single-asset pools, and shows the allowances for this year and the next five.
