Reduce your tax bill and energy costs with ACA

Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA) is a tax incentive encouraging investment in energy saving technology. The ACA is based on the long-standing ‘Wear and Tear Allowance’ for investment in capital plant and machinery, whereby capital depreciation can be compensated through a reduction in an organisation’s tax liability. The ACA scheme allows a sole trader, farmer or company that pays corporation tax in Ireland to deduct the full cost of the equipment from their profits in the year of purchase.
