Case Study

Capital Allowances in Practice

£470,000 Dental Practice Refurbishment

A dental practice invested £470,000 in refurbishing its premises. Our review identified £264,000 of qualifying Plant & Machinery Allowances, with the remaining £206,000 qualifying for Structures & Buildings Allowance.

For the client, who was a 45% income taxpayer, the PMA element represented a potential £118,800 reduction in taxable income where the Annual Investment Allowance was available and claimed in full.

The SBA element provides further tax relief over time, subject to the applicable rules.

The value to the adviser:

The opportunity was identified as part of the client's wider property expenditure. We worked alongside the adviser to review the costs, identify qualifying expenditure and prepare the supporting analysis for the claim.

The result was additional tax relief for the client and a straightforward process for the adviser, with minimal additional resource required from their team.
