About Capital Allowances
Capital allowances opportunities can arise in a number of different ways:
- When expenditure is incurred on constructing, purchasing, fitting out, refurbishing or extending a commercial property
- When buying or selling a commercial property: the value of the capital allowances must be agreed as part of the contract otherwise the claim will be lost
Typical properties that benefit from capital allowances include:
- Purchase of an office building – allowances available on initial investment plus further claim on any redevelopment costs
- Hotel acquisition and refurbishment including serviced apartments
- Restaurants and entertainment venues
- Residential care homes, nurseries and holiday lets
