Capital Allowances are the tax deductions available when a business purchases capital assets used within the business. Very often the moveable items and fixtures and fittings are identified and claimed however the property embedded plant and machinery is often overlooked and not identified by commercial property owners.
Where property acquisitions are made the inventory of moveable assets are identified however details of what inherent fixtures and fittings are not always provided and therefore are not claimed.
Commercial property owners can claim tax relief on the embedded fixtures within a property, such as heating systems, lifts, electrical wiring, fire escapes and security systems to name just a few.
Many commercial property owners are not taking advantage of this additional relief that is available to them due to not understanding what they can and cannot claim, and this not been quantified or considered by their advisors at the time. These allowances can represent a considerable additional tax relief which can save significant amounts of tax.
