Capital Allowances Review

The capital allowances regime allows businesses to claim tax relief on qualifying capital expenditure.  Whilst most businesses are aware of the basics, many are unaware of the extensive list of assets which qualify for capital allowances and of the various elections that can be made to maximise tax savings.

Qualifying Expenditure

This can include:

  • Plant and machinery
  • Fixtures and fittings – alarm systems, CCTV, toilet facilities
  • Building alterations to allow for the installation of plant and machinery
  • Demolition of existing plant and machinery
  • Integral features – air conditioning, heating systems, electrical systems
