Property Capital Allowances
Are you making the most of your Property Capital Allowance deductions?
Capital Allowances allow commercial property owners (Company or individuals) to claim tax relief on qualifying capital expenditure. If you own or lease a commercial property, our experts are here to help you fully explore these highly valuable tax incentives.
We’re not talking about the standard Capital Allowances that are traditionally picked up by your accountant.
The problem is the definition isn’t always clear cut – and that means you
may not be receiving the relevant allowances against your Property Capital spend
Capital allowances are a form of tax relief for capital expenditure incurred on certain assets. Similar to depreciation, the relief is a write off of the expenditure over a certain period for certain assets in use for the purposes of the trade or rental business.
An individual or company building commercial premises for the purpose of leasing them out, is subject to a surcharge of 25% on the cost of the work undertaken.
What can be claimed?
A company may claim capital allowances on capital expenditure it incurs on certain types of business asset and business premises.
The cost of building, refurbishing, extending or purchasing commercial premises is an allowable deduction under Capital Allowances at 4% over 25 years.
The purchase of plant and machinery attracts an allowance of 12.5% over 8 years.
Capital Allowance advice from the experts
When it comes to your assets, knowing what actually qualifies as ‘plant and machinery’ is key. In most cases, plant and machinery includes the usual tangible assets used in the course of a business. The problem is the definition isn’t always clear cut and most plant and machinery items are usually missed when calculating a Property Capital Allowances claim, which means you could be losing out on significant tax benefits.
