This Order amends the Capital Allowances (Energy-saving Plant and Machinery) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/2541, as amended) (“the 2001 Order”). That Order implemented legislation, inserted into the Capital Allowances Act 2001 (c. 2) by paragraph 2 of Schedule 17 to the Finance Act 2001 (c. 9), so as to introduce a scheme for 100% first-year allowances to encourage businesses to invest in energy-saving plant and machinery.
