First-Year Allowance

Dictionary Says

Definition of 'First-Year Allowance'

A U.K. tax allowance that permits British corporations to claim on eligible plan or machinery purchases. The allowance can only be claimed during the first year of the equipment purchase. The allowance helps corporations offset a portion of their taxable profits and can help ease the strain on a company's cash flow. This allowance replaces a standard U.K. write-down allowance previously available to small and medium-sized businesses.
