This deduction has to be made before filing the tax. All the deductions have to be mentioned on the tax form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Sage 50, you have the option to set the Annual Investment Allowance. If you enter an amount for AIA that is more than the amount previously set, then you\u2019ll get the Sage 50 Corporation Tax Error 9288. Another important thing to note here is that, if you want to increase the limit then you can do so by accessing the setting for the annual investment allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><strong>Note:<\/strong> You can calculate the total <strong>Annual Investment Allowance <\/strong>by the method provided by HMRC. Usually on calculating, you should get an amount quite close to 200,000. Sage 50 can automatically calculate this amount and can save it.
