Companies can already claim tax relief on what they invest, but the government said a new investment allowance will take the total they get back to 91p for every £1 they invest.The new allowance, which will give firms 80% off the windfall tax, will be provided at the point of investment, which the government said is more immediate than reliefs that are currently in place.
