What Are Capital Allowances?
Capital allowances are a powerful tax relief mechanism that lets your business claim deductions on qualifying capital expenditure — such as buildings, plant, machinery, or certain infrastructure assets.
Frees up working capital for growth
Examples of when capital allowances apply:
Acquiring commercial property for investment or use.
New builds, extensions, and refurbishments.
Purchasing manufacturing equipment or fixed assets.
Infrastructure (telecoms, energy, rail) development
Our Specialist Expertise
We focus exclusively on capital allowances. We do not offer audit or general tax services — this means no conflicts of interest, just deep technical expertise.
