Capital Goods Scheme: in or out, and what is due

Type the spend and the date the item was bought or built. It tells you whether the VAT Capital Goods Scheme still owns that asset for ten years, and what this interval's adjustment actually is.

Limit that applies to this item—
In or out of the scheme—
Interval you are in—
Adjustment for this interval—
Which way the money moves—
Still at stake if use stays as it is—
Final adjustment falls on—

Keep the schedule, not just this interval.

The check above is free and unlimited. The full version exports the whole interval schedule as .csv for your working papers and reminds you before each interval ends.

Picks the limit by the date on the invoice
Land, buildings and civil engineering works dated on or after 29 July 2026 are tested against £600,000 excluding VAT; anything dated before that keeps the old £250,000 test until its adjustment period runs out.
Knows computers left the scheme
Computer equipment acquired on or after 29 July 2026 is no longer a capital item at all, so it returns no adjustment; computers bought before that date still run their five intervals.
Works out this interval's adjustment
Total input VAT divided by the number of intervals, multiplied by the change in taxable use since the first interval, and it says which direction the money moves.
Counts which interval you are in
From the acquisition date and the interval end date it names the interval number, how many are left, and the date of the final adjustment.
