Manufacturing Accounting FAQs
How should manufacturing WIP be valued?
Work in progress should be valued at the cost of raw materials, direct labour, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. It should not include selling costs or abnormal waste.
Can manufacturers claim R&D tax credits?
Yes. Process improvements, new product development, and solving technical production challenges can all qualify. Many manufacturers underestimate their R&D spend because they think of it as "just engineering" rather than formal R&D.
What capital allowances are available for production equipment?
The Annual Investment Allowance covers up to £1 million. Full expensing (100% deduction) is available on qualifying plant and machinery for companies. Super-deduction has been replaced by full expensing as a permanent measure.
