What Are Capital Allowances?
Capital Allowances let you reduce your tax bill by claiming relief on embedded assets in commercial property — like lighting, heating, air con, and more. Instead of paying more to HMRC, you reinvest that money back into your business.
How Can
Capital Allowances Save Your Business Thousands
Claiming capital allowances at the right time can dramatically impact your cash flow. Here's a real-world example of how timing affects your tax savings:
Timing matters. A well-timed claim can unlock hundreds of thousands instantly — or delay your benefit for decades.
Do You Qualify for Capital Allowances?
If you’ve bought, built, or refurbished commercial property — even as a tenant — you likely qualify.
You can claim if:
- You own or lease commercial property
- You’ve made capital improvements
- You’ve purchased a building with embedded assets
- You’re fitting out a new or rented space
Even if your accountant hasn’t claimed — it’s not too late.

But My Accountant Handles This… Right?

- Tax legislation
- Construction & property law
- Surveying and valuation HMRC negotiation
Missing just one of these?

Furnished Holiday Let Tax Regime Abolished: HMRC Changes Now in Effect
The tax landscape for Furnished Holiday Let (FHL) businesses is set to undergo a significant shift, with HMRC recently confirming the abolition of the FHL tax regime. This change will bring about new rules for property businesses, effective April 2025. Here’s a breakdown of what this means and why it’s essential to act now.
HMRC has clarified how the changes will affect FHL businesses:
- No More FHL-Specific Capital Allowances: Businesses with FHL properties will lose access to the more advantageous capital allowances treatments.
- Introduction of Replacement of Domestic Items Relief: Instead, FHLs will follow the standard property business rules, including relief for replacing domestic items like
furnishings. - Existing Capital Allowance Pools Protected: If an FHL business already has a pool of qualifying capital expenditure, it can continue claiming writing-down allowances on that
existing pool. - Future Expenditures Under Property Business Rules: Any new spending incurred after April 2025 will need to adhere to the property business tax framework.
The upcoming changes may feel overwhelming, but there’s still time to act. Our team of experts can guide you through assessing your capital allowances and planning strategically to make the most of the current FHL regime before it ends.
The tax landscape for Furnished Holiday Let (FHL) businesses has officially changed, with HMRC’s abolition of the FHL tax regime now in effect as of April 2025. These changes have introduced new rules for property businesses that FHL owners need to understand immediately.
Current HMRC changes affecting FHL businesses:
- FHL-Specific Capital Allowances Eliminated: The advantageous capital allowances previously available to FHL properties are no longer accessible for new owners.
- Replacement of Domestic Items Relief Now Applies: FHLs must now follow standard property business rules, including relief for replacing domestic items like furnishings.
- Protection for Existing Capital Allowance Pools: Previous FHL owners with an established pool of qualifying capital expenditure can continue claiming writing-down allowances on that existing pool.
- New Expenditures Under Property Business Rules: All new spending must adhere to the property business tax framework.
Important opportunities still available:
If you were an FHL owner before April 2025, you can still claim tax benefits on your existing capital allowance pools. Act quickly—HMRC’s removal of this long-standing tax regime demonstrates that benefits can disappear with limited notice.
Our experts can help you secure your entitled claims while adapting to the new framework.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Why haven’t I heard about capital allowances?
Capital allowances are a specialist and not well-known area of taxation, however, they have been established in law since 1878.
What exactly can I claim for?
You can claim tax relief on embedded fixtures and features within your commercial property—things like lighting, heating systems, alarms, air conditioning, carpets, kitchens, and more. It’s a lot like the detailed work of a quantity surveyor, but from a tax perspective—our specialist uses deep technical knowledge to identify items hidden in plain sight that general accountants often miss
Is it too late to claim?
Not at all. Many clients are surprised to learn they can backdate claims on properties purchased or refurbished years ago. Even if your accountant didn’t raise it at the time, there’s a strong chance you still qualify for significant allowances.
Will claiming affect a future sale or my capital gains position?
Only if handled incorrectly—which is why we coordinate with your solicitor and accountant to ensure the claim is structured properly. With the right documentation in place, your claim will stand up to scrutiny and protect your position on sale or disposal.
Do I need to change accountants?
Not at all. We’re here to complement, not compete. Your accountant handles your books—we specialise in this highly niche area of property tax law. We’ll work directly with them to deliver value, without any disruption to your existing setup.
What’s the first step?
Start by taking the 20-second quiz to check your eligibility. If you own commercial or mixed-use property, we’ll invite you to a free consultation with our in-house capital allowances expert. No pressure. No commitment. Just clarity on whether you’re owed thousands in unclaimed tax relief.
