More or less any business or property owner incurring capital expenditure on buildings, equipment or other assets may make a claim for tax relief in the form of capital allowances.

Major changes have been introduced in the last two years.  The main rate of allowance for plant and machinery is 20% but there is also a 10% rate for integral features and long life assets, a £50,000 annual investment allowance, a 40% first year allowance for 2009-10, a 100% first year allowance for energy saving equipment and various other allowances to consider.

We will work with you and your advisers utilising a mix of tax, surveying and valuation skills and our many years of experience to ensure that your claim is fully optimised (with the necessary audit trails and account reconciliation) and agreed by HM Revenue & Customs.
