For example, a £50,000 wind turbine generating £5,000 electricity provides a 10% return on capital. If a 40% taxpayer can write off the investment against profit, the effective cost is £30,000 – the return on capital is now 16.7 %. AIA reduces from April 2012 so, together with reducing Fits, there is an incentive to press ahead with projects. rating.
