To support employers during the pandemic the government legislated to allow certain small and medium size employers to reclaim some, or all, of their SSP costs from HMRC via the SSPRS.
Under the new regulations, employers will not be able to reclaim SSP from 30 September 2021 and any claims relating to periods prior to that date must have been filed by 31 December 2021.
A new tax will begin next April, initially as a 1.25% increase in National Insurance & Dividend Tax.
From 2023, it will be legislated separately as a “health and social care levy” and NIC rates will return to 2021/22 levels.
From 1 April 2021 until 31 March 2023, companies investing in qualifying new plant and machinery assets will be able to claim a 130% super-deduction capital allowance on qualifying plant and machinery investments including commercial vehicles.

This year, 2021/22 the transferable allowance increases to £1,260.
This entitles you up to a £252 tax saving during the tax year.
HMRC are still allowing backdated claims for the previous four tax years which could be worth up to £1,220.
