Barth Consulting
Don’t miss out on what you’re entitled to
On her company website, Louise Barth asks a straightforward question – What if your competitors are receiving 100% legitimate tax relief that you don’t even know about? – food for thought, certainly, and a reality for many. Passionate about both her home county of Bedfordshire and the

construction sector and those who work in it, Louise set up Barth Consulting three years ago after moving away from the corporate world in London to set up her own business. Excited by the development that is going on in the area and the
opportunities that aff ords the business community, she put her vast experience to good use to help and advise those who are entitled to enjoy the benefi ts of the government’s capital allowances relief. “After graduating from university, I came home to Luton and began
working as a quantity surveyor, working on some of the biggest and most exciting projects going on at that time, including with Beefeater restaurants and Vauxhall Motors, on their new European parts warehouse extension on Toddington Road,” said Louise. “I was working

on some of the largest projects in the area at a time when there was a recession going on, and it was exciting to be part of it and helping to make things happen.” Moving to London to specialise in capital
allowances, Louise remained on the periphery of the construction sector. Far from being an accountant or a ‘numbers’ person, Louise put her enquiring mind and, in her words, nosiness, to best use, getting down to the detail of projects and assessing what tax relief clients might be entitled to. Capital allowance can be claimed by the owner of commercial property who pays UK tax. It is a relief on plant and machinery, and fi xtures such as electrical, water, heating and sanitary systems, as well as many other assets. Around the
same time, Research and
Development (R&D) Tax Credits were made available to all businesses, in any sector, that are carrying out some kind of R&D work. T e tax credits are a government-backed incentive to reward UK companies investing in innovation in products, processes and services or improving existing ones. “As the question on my website implies, the fact
is that many businesses are missing out on valuable tax relief simply because they don’t know the facts, and, in a lot of cases, their accountants don’t know the system well enough, to be confident about putting in a claim,” said Louise.
