Capital Allowance Claims
Did You know You Can Claim Capital Allowances From HMRC?
If you own a UK commercial property or a furnished holiday Let (FHL), and you are a UK taxpayer, there is a very strong chance you are legally entitled to a large tax rebate. Indeed, it is estimated that in 96% of these property transactions, people are not claiming their entitlement to capital allowances.
What Are Capital Allowances?
When you spend money buying or improving a property, HMRC allows you to offset some of that expenditure against your profits, or general income for tax purposes. HMRC provides tax relief for expenditure incurred by UK taxpayers on their Capital Investment in commercial and other qualifying types of property. Most UK businesses pay tax on their trading profits, and Capital Allowances allow them to reduce that tax liability by offsetting capital expenditure against those profits. This can result in either a refund of previously paid tax, mitigation of current taxes due, or a reduction in future tax liabilities, or both.
