The Assumption and the Reality

While it is often assumed that the necessary information for claiming capital allowances is readily available, the reality is that many businesses miss out on significant tax relief due to insufficient details. However, it’s not too late to remedy the situation if the criteria for claiming capital allowances are met.

Enhancing Capital Allowances

A Collaborative Approach

We recognise the expertise of the accounting profession in assessing capital allowances. Our aim is not to question their abilities but to introduce additional disciplines that can further enhance the level of tax relief claimed. A capital allowance survey is one such discipline that uncovers items not visible within the paperwork, leading to potential tax relief in unexpected areas.

Working Together for Optimal Tax Benefits

We collaborate closely with business advisors and accounting professionals to maximise tax benefits for their clients. Often, accountants face limitations due to the information provided to them, resulting in missed opportunities for maximising capital allowance claims and higher taxes for their clients. By working together, we can unlock the full potential of tax relief opportunities.

The Impact of Capital Allowance Surveys

Our experience shows that in about 90% of the cases we review, additional capital allowances can be extracted from Land & Buildings and property improvement costs. These findings play a significant role in a business’s tax planning strategy, providing a valuable avenue for tax optimisation and increased cash flow

Uncovering Hidden Savings

The PEFFs Review

Our specialised Property Embedded Fixtures and Fittings (PEFFs) review is designed to identify tax relief that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. This review is particularly advantageous for clients who have incurred substantial costs while acquiring and improving commercial properties.

The Numbers Don't Lie

During our surveys, we typically uncover 25% of property costs and 50% of property improvement costs that qualify for capital allowances. These findings are a game-changer, reducing tax liabilities and potentially recovering taxes that have already been paid.

The Benefits Extend Beyond Taxes

Taking advantage of capital allowances not only reduces tax burdens for businesses but also has a positive impact on the economy. With reduced tax liabilities, businesses have more funds at their disposal to reinvest in operations, expand their ventures, and create new job opportunities.
