UNDERSTANDING CAPITAL ALLOWANCES
Many Solicitors are facing litigation for the consequential loss of tax savings due to inaccurate or poorly advised entries. But we can help. Our fully integrated online solution takes only minutes to complete and provides total indemnification for your company.
We provide a completed s198 or s199 form after assessing the capital allowances position of your Client’s property. Our system is fully traceable with real-time information available via your custom online dashboard.
The Finance Bill 2012 radically changed the rules for claiming capital allowances on commercial property. The transitional period that ended in April 2014, means that you now must be complying with the legislation.
There are new obligations on both seller and buyer to agree the capital allowances position or they risk losing the benefits forever – potentially costing parties many thousands of pounds in tax relief and negatively impacting the future value of the property.
RISKS OF iNACCURATE REPORTING
Section 32 of the CPSE relates to Plant and Machinery embedded within the property and must be accurately completed so that tax relief is not lost to either buyer or seller.
If Section 32 of the CPSE has any of the following it is likely not accurate and requires a review from HMA Tax:
- The field is left ‘blank’ or ‘nil’
- A £0, £1 or £2 value
- States ‘Referred to Accountant’ or similar
A failure to deal with Capital Allowances correctly could result in a complete loss of Allowances for current and future taxpayers who own the property.
This is likely to have a negative impact upon the market value of the property in the future.
