COULD YOU BE MISSING OUT ON TAX RELIEF?

Capital Allowances can arise in more places than you might expect

Capital Allowances on commercial property are frequently overlooked or underclaimed. Specialist industry reviews have identified significant additional allowances in over 90% of cases reviewed, even where Capital Allowances advice had previously been received. In some properties, qualifying expenditure can represent more than 25% of the purchase price or refurbishment costs.

If any of the following apply to you, it may be worth investigating whether there is an unclaimed Capital Allowances opportunity.

PURCHASED A PROPERTY

You have acquired an existing commercial property and the embedded fixtures have not been fully reviewed.

REFURBISHED OR FITTED OUT

You have invested in alterations, improvements, extensions or fit out works.

OWNED FOR SOME TIME

Historic qualifying expenditure may not have been identified or fully claimed.

BUYING OR SELLING

The Capital Allowances position needs to be considered as part of the transaction.

WHAT COULD QUALIFY?

The value isn’t just in the bricks and mortar

Commercial properties can contain significant amounts of qualifying plant and machinery within the fabric and services of the building.

From electrical and heating systems to ventilation, sanitaryware and security installations, qualifying expenditure can be found throughout a commercial property.

A specialist Capital Allowances review identifies these assets, establishes the qualifying expenditure and determines the appropriate tax treatment.

Examples can include:

  • Electrical systems
  • Heating systems
  • Air conditioning
  • Ventilation
  • Lighting
  • Sanitaryware
  • Fire and security systems
  • Lifts
  • Specialist installations

Our approach

A specialist property tax review, not an estimate

Identifying Capital Allowances within commercial property requires more than applying a percentage to the purchase price or project expenditure.

Every property is different. We consider the property itself, how and when it was acquired, expenditure incurred, previous claims and the available supporting documentation before establishing what may qualify.

Inside commercial property

We review the property, ownership history, expenditure and previous capital allowances claims

We always survey the property to identify qualifying fixtures, plant, and building systems

Qualifying expenditure is identified, valued, allocated to the appropriate Capital Allowances categories

We prepare a detailed capital allowances report, setting out the basis of the claim and supporting calculations

We work alongside your accountant to help implement the claim and provide technical support where requried

CALCULATE YOUR POTENTIAL CLAIM

How much could be hidden in your commercial property?

The estimated Capital Allowances shown are based on the upper end of the indicative range and are provided for illustration only.

Actual qualifying expenditure will vary depending on the property and its circumstances. A final claim can only be established following a detailed Capital Allowances review and a property survey.

For second hand properties, the estimate assumes that the relevant Capital Allowances remain available to the purchaser and have not been restricted by previous claims or the terms of the property transaction.
