RE: Austria announces windfall tax on energy companies19 Nov 2022 08:50
I think this is the bit they got wrong and caused the dip on Thursday:
'This 80% Investment Allowance meant businesses would get a £91.25 tax saving for every £100 they invest – providing them with an additional incentive to invest. This nearly doubled the tax relief available and means the more investment a firm makes, the less tax they will pay.
Under the 35% levy rate, the government is reducing the rate of the allowance to 29% which, due to the higher rate, will broadly maintain the existing cash value of the allowance.
This means business will be able to claim £91.40 in tax relief for every £100 invested rather than the previous £91.25'
The buy backs are not taxed.
Colder weather is here, so expect fluctuations up and down in NG prices.
Dare I say it, once the dust has settled we may see a rise.
