North Sea oil and gas investment allowance

printer Mail

HMRC is consulting until 27 January 2016 on The Investment Allowance and Cluster Area Allowance (Investment Expenditure) Regulations, SI 2016/Draft, which extend the scope of both the investment allowance and cluster area allowance available to North Sea oil and gas companies in order to reduce their adjusted ring-fence profits subject to the corporation tax supplementary charge. HMRC has also published a tax impact and information note (www.bit.ly/1n25me3) alongside the draft legislation. The regulations will have effect for expenditure incurred on or after 8 October 2015 and broaden the definition of investment expenditure to include certain types of discretionary operational expenditure and lease payments.
