COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TAX RELIEF
DO YOU OWN A FACTORY OR INDUSTRIAL BUILDING?
Industrial building owners are often unaware that their property is holding thousands of pounds of unclaimed tax relief in the form of Embedded Capital Allowances. These are allowances on items such as security shutters, lighting, fire alarms, kitchen and bathroom facilities – essentially everything that would remain in your property if you tipped it upside down.
Typically we would expect to find around 15% of the original purchase value of the property in previously unidentified Capital Allowances. £120K of allowances in a £800K property which translates as £48K in tax refund and/or reduction in future tax liability to a higher rate tax payer. So it’s an exercise well worth doing.
Claiming Embedded Capital Allowances is a risk-free exercise well worth considering when you own commercial property. You can estimate your total claim using our claims estimation tool or book a consultation with one of our claims specialists who can prepare an estimation on your behalf.
