Specialist tax reliefs & allowances

Why these claims arefrequently overlooked.

Capital allowances on property and R&D tax relief can deliver significant benefits — but only when the rules are applied correctly and supported by evidence.

  • No specialist reviewclaims not considered as part of routine compliance work.

  • Assumptions madeproperty costs or development work treated too simplistically.

  • Late adviceopportunities lost because planning wasn’t done early enough.

  • Incomplete claimsreliefs understated due to poor identification of qualifying costs.

  • HMRC riskclaims made without sufficient evidence or technical support.

Specialist claimsrequire specialist handling.

How we work

Specialist claims —reviewed, quoted, and delivered properly.

Specialist claims are not suitable for a one-size-fits-all approach.

We…

  • Carry out an initial assessment to confirm whether a claim is appropriate

  • Provide clear, fixed pricing for specialist work before proceeding

  • Work alongside other advisers where required

  • Ensure claims are fully supported if queried

Capital allowances

Capital allowances on property —identified and claimed correctly.

When a business purchases, builds, or extends property, a significant proportion of the cost may qualify for plant and machinery capital allowances — but only if properly identified. This can represent up to 40% of the purchase price!

Where claims commonly arise

  • Fixtures installed or attached to the property such as radiators, toilets, sinks, fitted kitchens
  • Integral features within commercial buildings such as lighting, electrical, water and heating systems
  • Property extensions and refurbishments
  • Fit-outs and internal installations

Early involvement is essential, particularly on property purchases, where elections and contract wording can affect entitlement.

R&D tax relief

R&D tax relief —claimed with technical support.

R&D tax relief is available to companies working on projects that seek to achieve advances in science or technology, where the solution is not readily available knowledge. For example — software development, product development, new processes, engineering design, manufacturing problem solutions, etc.

We support claims by

  • Assessing whether projects meet the definition of qualifying R&D
  • Preparing clear technical narratives aligned with HMRC guidance
  • Identifying and calculating qualifying costs
  • Submitting claims that are accurate, proportionate, and evidenced

Strong claims are built on clarity and evidence.

Patent Box relief

Patent Box relief —qualifying profits taxed at a lower rate.

Patent Box relief allows companies that develop and exploit qualifying patented inventions to apply a reduced Corporation Tax rate to profits attributable to that intellectual property.

It can apply where a company owns qualifying patents, or in some cases holds qualifying exclusive rights, and has been actively involved in developing the patented technology.

We support claims by

  • Reviewing patents and intellectual property to establish eligibility
  • Identifying income and profits attributable to qualifying patented technology
  • Calculating the proportion of profits that can benefit from Patent Box relief
  • Preparing the supporting calculations and documentation required for the claim

Patent Box relief can substantially reduce the tax payable on successful patented technology..
