Welcome

This web site has been produced by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and HM Revenue and Customs, to provide information about the Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme for Water Technologies.

The Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme enables businesses to claim 100% first year capital allowances on investments in technologies and products that encourage sustainable water use. Businesses are now able to write off the whole cost of their investment against their taxable profits of the period during which they make the investment.

Enhanced Capital Allowances will encourage businesses to invest in water saving technologies.

This site provides information:

• Criteria and Applications - To provide guidance for manufacturers and suppliers wishing to register their products for inclusion on the Water Technology List
• Products and Claims - To help end-user companies that wish to take advantage of the Enhanced Capital Allowance to identify which products and technologies are included on the Water Technology List
• Promotional Tools - Useful for end users to disseminate information on the ECA scheme internally and for manufacturers to provide information to sales representatives and distributors on the benefits of the scheme for their customers.
