Accelerated Capital Allowance Grant

The ACA is a tax incentive for companies paying corporation tax and aims to encourage investment in energy efficient equipment. The purpose of the ACA scheme is to encourage businesses to purchase plant and machinery that are highly energy efficient and thus make significant savings on energy costs and reduce carbon emissions. The ACA offers an attractive incentive whereby it allows companies to write off 100% of the purchase value of qualifying energy efficient equipment against their profit in the year of purchase. Solar PV qualifies for the ACA scheme, this is an attractive investment as it offers significant savings on your electricity bill while the cost of purchase has been written off your tax bill.
