Capital Allowances Claims

When a business property is purchased, it is treated
as capital expenditure. The cost of the building itself cannot usually be claimed as an expense of the business
and set off against business profits (with some exceptions). Instead, the cost is carried forward into the
future and set off against a future sale in calculating the capital gain on the disposal.
Thus tax relief is sometimes never achieved (e.g on death) or is
deferred far into the future when it's value may be much less due to inflation.
However, included in the cost of the purchase are many
functional parts of the building which can be regarded as "plant and machinery". Identifying this expenditure
allows tax relief to be claimed sooner and the relief set off against business profits or other income. In many
cases the amount of relief can be increased as there is some flexibility about when and where relief is
claimed,
We can help identify and claim these additional
expenses.
