Tax refunds and relief for Restaurant & Pub owners
Our service helps pub & restaurant owners identify unclaimed capital allowances and receive tax refunds. Our reports are guaranteed to be fully HMRC compliant to get you the maximum tax refund.
Pub & restaurant building owners are often unaware that their property is holding thousands of pounds of unclaimed tax relief in the form of Embedded Capital Allowances. These are allowances on items such as commercial kitchens, bars, lighting, toilets, security systems and fire alarms – essentially everything that would remain in your property if you tipped it upside down.
As long as you own a commercial property and pay UK tax then you are entitled to claim. We specialise in Capital Allowances Tax Relief and our expert in-house team work exclusively in this niche area of taxation. On average it takes only 6 weeks from our initial meeting to you receiving your relief from HMRC.
Typically we would expect to find around 32% of the original purchase value of the property in previously unidentified Capital Allowances. £160K of allowances in a £500K property which translates as £64K in tax refund and/or reduction in future tax liability to a higher rate tax payer. So it’s an exercise well worth doing.
Claiming Embedded Capital Allowances is a risk-free exercise well worth considering when you own commercial property. You can estimate your total claim using our claims estimation tool or book a consultation with one of our claims specialists who can prepare an estimation on your behalf.

Absolutely not. We look at claims for you on a results only basis, which means that if we do not find allowances that have been approved by HMRC, then we charge you nothing and any initial costs are covered by us. Our fee is completely linked to a successful outcome, so there is nothing to lose by investigating a potential claim.
