Such clients include UK and overseas institutions, property companies and private clients, together with a wide range of property investors, owners and occupiers across all sectors of commercial property. We work with a wide range of clients on both commercial and residential projects and assets all over the UK. In each case, we set out to turn the next tax bill in our client’s favour.
Any UK business owning, occupying or investing in commercial property can use capital allowances to minimise the impact of income or corporation tax. Our job is to ensure maximum benefits for clients, from project inception through to claim agreement.
The most tax-efficient way forward - maximising capital allowances recovery and claim agreements
This may entail working on some or all of the following, on behalf of our clients and their advisers:
- Produce detailed capital allowances valuations (for property purchases or developments – new and refurbished alike)
- Provide strategic capital allowances advice and due diligence on property transactions
- Conduct reviews of existing portfolios and historic expenditure (to ensure compliance and identify unclaimed capital allowances)
- Undertake desktop capital allowances reviews, to optimise disposals or inform investment decisions when buying commercial property
- Negotiate with Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC), the Valuation Office Agency and other UK tax authorities
- Act as RICS expert witness on capital allowances matters
At all points, our focus lies in finding the most tax-efficient way forward for our clients - maximising capital allowances recovery and claim agreements. Fees are cashflow neutral being paid out of the tax savings our involvement generates.
