Capital Allowances
When you buy, lease or improve a commercial property, HMRC allows you to offset some of that expenditure for tax purposes. Your advisors have probably claimed for the more obvious features, but as capital allowance specialists we dig much deeper to make significant additional claims on your behalf.
Typically, we identify Capital Allowances of between 10% and 30% of the commercial property purchase price.
We use specialist surveyors with tax expertise, to visit your property to uncover this extra layer of allowable items. This service is relevant for two types of clients:
1. Commercial property owners and investors who can retrospectively claim for unused allowances, (going back many years in some cases), for alterations, extensions and upgrades to their buildings.
2. Buyers and sellers of commercial property who need to agree a value for plant and machinery as part of the purchase process.

HMRC backtracks on APN’s

HMRC has backtracked on hundreds of Accelerated Payment Notices (APN) after admitting defeat following an application for Judicial Review. This affects the notices it has issued to hundreds of taxpayers as a result of a Judicial Review lodged on their behalf. This is not the first time that HMRC has undertaken a withdrawal of APNs that they had previously issued.
APNs were challenged on a number of grounds including the argument that the Employee Benefit Trust arrangements under consideration were not ‘notifiable’ to HMRC, under the DOTAS regime. HMRC has now admitted that it did not have the right to issue the APNs in relation to these arrangements.
Shipleys Tax Planning partner, Shabeer Yousuf CTA, says “this case demonstrates, that a taxpayer in receipt of an APN should not automatically assume that HMRC has followed the correct processes and exercised its powers lawfully, the taxpayer should seek specialist advice.”
