We can shine a light on unclaimed tax savings in your business property

Most property owners never claim their full allowances, especially embedded fixtures and building improvements accountants often miss.

What Are Capital Allowances?

Capital allowances are a form of tax relief that allow commercial property owners to deduct the value of qualifying fixtures and systems from their taxable profits. While businesses and commercial property owners may have heard about capital allowances, they mostly assume “my accountant already claims this for me”… Which is NOT true!

While accountants may claim allowances on obvious items such as loose furniture, fixtures, or equipment with invoices, this usually represents only a small fraction of what’s actually available.

What 80% of property owners and investors don’t realise is that capital allowances also apply to the ‘embedded fixtures’ and ‘integral features’ in their commercial property!

This additional aspect of capital allowances can be claimed on part of the costs incurred when you purchase, build, convert, or refurbish your property.

As a highly technical area of UK tax legislation, identifying and valuing qualifying expenditure requires a combination of quantity surveying expertise and specialist capital allowances knowledge. Therefore an accountant can’t identify or claim capital allowances.

Capital Allowances on Embedded Fixtures

Capital allowances can be claimed on embedded fixtures and fittings that were a part of the property at the time of purchase. In other words, these are items that would remain fixed even if the building were turned upside down.

Qualifying Embedded Fixtures are:

Electrical and Lighting Systems

Heating Systems

Ventilation Systems

Water Systems

Bathroom and Kitchens

Underground Pipework

Carpets & Floor Coverings

Door Locks and Handles

Telephone and TV Points

Security and Fire Alarms

Waste Disposal

...and more!

On average, Property Tax Optimisers identify between 20% and 30% of the original costs incurred when purchasing, constructing, or refurbishing a property as qualifying capital allowances. This can generate thousands of pounds in tax savings, reducing future HMRC liabilities for years to come. In most cases, property owners also receive a cash rebate from HMRC for tax they have unknowingly overpaid.
