Draft legislation: Investment Allowance for oil and gas companies

Investment Allowance and Cluster Area Allowance reduce the adjusted ring fence profits of oil and gas companies which are subject to the supplementary charge by an amount equal to 62.5% of investment expenditure incurred.

In the Summer Budget 2015, the government announced that the the definition of investment expenditure would be extended for the purposes of the Investment and Cluster Area allowances.
