‘Micro Invest’ Tax Credits for Companies and Self employed

Micro InvestEligible 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;
