Property Capital Allowances
Are you making the most of your 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 maximum benefit on your Capital Allowances
Announced by the Chancellor in the 2021 Budget, businesses are afforded:
- A 130% Super Deduction for main rate assets; and
- A 50% first-year SR Allowance for qualifying Special Rate assets for two years
130% Super Deduction
The Super Deduction gives relief at 130% of the qualifying cost – a very generous incentive compared to the usual 18% writing down allowance for investment in main pool plant and machinery assets.
This means your company can now claim back up to 25p for every pound you invest in qualifying machinery and equipment for two years from 1st April 2021.
With effect from 1st April 2023 the Super Deduction has now been reduced to 100%.
50% Special Rate Allowance
The Special Rate Allowance gives relief at 50% of the qualifying cost in the first year, with the balance going into the normal Special Rate pool to be written down at the usual 6% rate in future 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 items often missed when calculating a Capital Allowances claim, which means you could be losing out on significant tax benefits.
Our Capital Allowance experts provide a free, no obligation preliminary review of your entitlement to claim.
