ARE YOU AN ACCOUNTANT?

BECOME A PROFESSIONAL PARTNER

Accountants play a critical role in managing their clients' financial affairs, but they are not always experts in tax relief on capital expenditures. Many accountants may not have the necessary expertise or resources to identify all the potential Embedded Capital Allowances that could be claimed on behalf of their clients.

ARE YOUR CLIENTS MISSING OUT?

Less than 20% of UK property owners have claimed the Capital Allowances that they are entitled to. For some firms, this is a significant litigation risk due to consequential losses on unclaimed allowances.

Our dedicated team of Claims Specialists work directly with you and your clients to ensure that they are utilising and maximising the tax relief that they are entitled to within the scope of the Capital Allowance Act 2001.

I’ve thought claiming Capital Allowances impacted upon Capital Gains when a client sells their asset?

The most common misconception is that any savings achieved by claiming Capital Allowances will be cancelled out later by a increased capital gains tax (in the event that the asset is sold).

This is not true.  Section 41 TCGA 1992 specifically details that it is not necessary to deduct any Capital Allowances from the cost of an asset for capital gains purposes. So, it is not possible for a Capital Allowance claims to create or increase a chargeable gain.

Why would I have not already maximised the available Capital Allowances for my client?

There’s no doubt accountants have methods for assessing Capital Allowances and therefore it’s important to stress that we’re not questioning their or your ability. However, ultimately accountants rarely operate at the granular detail that Embedded Capital Allowances specialists such as HMA Tax do.

Our approach involves being highly skilled and efficient within this specialist sector of commercial property tax law. Compliant, accurate and maximised Embedded Capital Allowances claims are only possible by introducing additional disciplines that add value to their or your work; these include the inputs of expert property Surveyors and specialist Tax Accountants, as well as the proper procedures for claiming the identified relief and rebates from HMRC.

Will this cause a problem with HMRC?

Capital Allowances are part of standard business routines and are therefore claimed each year against cost clients incur to operate.  HMRC does not take issue with Capital Allowance claims on the basis we adhere to guidelines and the legislation applicable to each claim.

Fortunately, at HMA Tax we have a flawless, 100% success rate with claims we have made to HMRC and have never had an issue completing a claim with HMRC.
