Are you missing out on tax relief?


Commercial property owners are saving on average £35,000 in tax by claiming a specialist tax relief on the ‘embedded fi xtures’ found in and under their property


While tax relief can’t be claimed on commercial buildings, it can be claimed on items embedded in the fabric of the property such as electric and heating systems, kitchens, bathrooms, water pipework and more. Typically, between 20%-40% of the cost incurred to purchase, build, convert or refurbish the premises is identifi ed as qualifying for capital allowances. Claiming capital allowances on


building purchases requires the skills of quantity surveyors and


property tax experts. As a result, most property owners have no idea that UK tax legislation entitles them to claim this tax relief, meaning they are overpaying tax. Zeal helps owners unlock the tax savings, generating cash repayments from HMRC and reducing their tax bills for years to come.


WHY ISN’T THIS SOMETHING AN ACCOUNTANT WOULD CLAIM? This isn’t a service an accountant could provide as it requires surveyors


to calculate the claim value. Many accountants are aware of the tax relief and work with fi rms like Zeal to help their clients save tax. It’s important to note that this


isn’t ‘new’ legislation and it isn’t a ‘tax scheme’. The UK’s largest businesses and property investors have been benefi ting from capital allowances tax relief for many years. Unfortunately, for smaller business and property investors, it’s been frequently overlooked or misunderstood by their professional advisors or their property investment was too small for it to be cost eff ective to make a claim. Zeal helps businesses of all sizes


to unlock these tax savings. The company’s business model makes claiming capital allowances simple and cost eff ective.
