You’ve Paid for the Asset — Now Let It Pay You Back
Capital investment shouldn’t just power operations — it should cut your tax bill, too.
Capital allowances let you deduct the cost of qualifying assets — from machinery and IT to commercial property fixtures — against taxable profits. In practice, that converts spend into measurable cash savings. Many businesses underclaim or miss out entirely because they’re unsure what qualifies, how to categorise items, or how to time claims for maximum impact. We make sure every pound you’ve invested works as hard for your tax position as it does for your business.
What Qualifies for Capital Allowances?
- Plant & machinery: manufacturing equipment, production lines, office fit‑outs.
- Fixtures & fittings: lighting, heating, sanitary ware, built‑in furniture.
- Integral features: air conditioning, lifts, electrical and water systems.
- Energy‑efficient & green tech: often eligible for 100% first‑year relief.
- Specialist/R&D assets: equipment linked to development and testing.
We review your asset register, invoices, and property documents to surface every qualifying item — including “hidden” fixtures embedded in commercial property transactions.
Strategic Planning for Maximum Relief
- Use full expensing and the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) to claim up to 100% immediately where eligible.
- Phase claims to manage profits across periods and smooth cashflow.
- Coordinate with R&D, property, and group planning to avoid clashes and maximise relief.
- Unlock allowances retrospectively on past purchases with detailed surveys and valuations.
Turning Missed Opportunities into Money in Your Pocket
Most capital allowance claims don’t fail — they underperform. The obvious assets get claimed; the valuable, less visible ones are left behind in contracts and completion statements. We’re forensic about finding what others overlook, from integral features buried in a purchase price to fixtures the vendor never pooled.
Then we make the numbers work for the business, not just the return: aligning claims with your cashflow cycle, investment plans, and future disposals so relief shows up where it matters most. Capital allowances aren’t paperwork to us — they’re a way to put money back where it belongs: in your business.
You’ve already paid for the assets — let’s make sure you get every penny of relief you’re entitled to.
