Enhanced Capital Allowances

Air Options where possible will engineer a tax efficient solution subject to it being fit for purpose and workable within your budget.

ECA qualification is dictated by the ETL ( energy technology list ) and subject to the equipment appearing will qualify. Air Options can only go so far with this and the claim itself is then up to you and your accountant. We will of course assist where possible.

Whilst it is not always straight forward Air Options have a wealth of experience in this sector and have engineered many systems from just a few thousand pounds to in excess of six figures which qualify.

Please feel free to contact us today to discuss your requirement.

What Is ECA?

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.

Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECA) allow the cost of an investment to be written off against the taxable profits of the period in which the investment is made. This can boost cash flow along with the comfort that your purchase will also benefit from reduced energy bills due to their energy efficient nature.

There are no catches or drawbacks to the scheme and it really should be seen as an incentive. The vast majority of market leading brands appear on the ETL giving you the peace of mind that manufacturer is both familiar and reputable.

For more information please refer to the ECA website http://www.eca.gov.uk/etl/

How do you claim an ECA?

ECA claims should be submitted as part of your normal corporate or income tax return.

It's important to retain all documents relating to your ECA claim, including invoices, dated screen prints from the ECA website and anything from the company that installs the equipment. HMRC may investigate any aspect of a tax return and you should have all necessary evidence to hand to support your claim.
