Businesses cash in on capital allowance changes B


usiness owners could be missing out on thousands of pounds in tax relief on the purchase, construction and refurbishment of their offices and commercial properties. Depending on the building and


its use, tax repayments can amount to between 10% and 40% of the purchase price or construction cost say tax experts at north west accountancy firm Hurst. Businesses can claim tax allowances, called capital allowances, on certain purchases or investments. A proportion of these costs can then be deducted


from the taxable profits to reduce the tax bill.


There has been 21 legislative changes to the capital allowances regime in the last three years and items now qualify for relief that were previously excluded, including wiring, electrical systems, lifts, and air cooling systems.


Lisa Dicken, associate tax partner at


Hurst, said: “As times are tough, businesses are placing more emphasis on value and cashflow. Therefore they need to ensure they are claiming the maximum tax relief possible.

“It’s not a case of business owners not bothering to claim, but rather they don’t know they can claim it back on current and past expenditure. As soon as they realise there is relief available, they are quick to take advantage. Tax refunds may also be available as the relief can be carried back to prior years and offset against taxable profits.


“Demand for this service is expected to rocket and we’ve already been busy working with quantity surveyors and compiling thorough reports on behalf of businesses which we then submit to HMRC. Some businesses are receiving significant amounts back.”
