Eligible taxpayers may apply for Micro Invest Tax Credits on investments made during 2019 until:
- 25th March 2020 at 1600hrs for self employed individuals
- 27th May 2020 at 1600hrs for companies
These tax credits are aimed at micro businesses. Related or “linked” enterprises with common shareholders or voting rights are therefore seen as a “single undertaking” for the purposes of eligibility. For avoidance of doubt this includes “start-ups” as defined by Incentive Guidelines.
Eligible expenditure includes:
- Costs incurred between 1 January and 31 December 2019;
- Increased wage costs;
- Furbishing and refurbishing costs;
- Investments in machinery, technology or equipment enhancing the operations;
- Certain motor vehicles;
- Investment in systems to produce alternative energy;
- Costs above that are properly supported by the documentation required by the Incentive Guidelines;
