Somar Eluma is endorsed by the Carbon Trust. It is listed on the Enhanced Technology List (ETL); therefore purchases of Eluma are eligible for tax benefits under the Enhanced Capital Allowances scheme (ECA).
Under the ECA scheme, you can claim an 'enhanced' 100% capital allowance on qualifying investments in equipment in the first tax year. Normal capital allowances on plant and machinery are 25% a year on a reducing balance basis. So the scheme boosts cash flow and shortens the payback period.
