The OBR provides independent scrutiny of Budget measures (and considers HM Treasury analysis as part of this process). The OBR has said that, at its peak in the financial year 2022-23, the super-deduction will bring forward 10% of business investment with a value of £20bn.

The economic impacts of the super-deduction are incorporated in the OBR’s forecasts contained within its Economic and Fiscal Outlook, which is available online.
