I hear the same preconceptions about Capital Allowances again and again. Let’s set the record straight…

❌ “You can only claim Capital Allowances on new properties.”
✅ Not true. Claims can be made on second-hand properties, even years after purchase.
❌ “Only big businesses qualify.”
✅ Sole traders, landlords, limited companies — anyone investing in commercial property may be eligible.
❌ “My accountant claims my Capital Allowances.”
✅ General accountants may not have the surveying expertise needed to uncover all qualifying items. That’s where we come in.

At Elect, we combine specialist tax knowledge with surveying precision, ensuring you don’t leave money on the table.

This is a common misconception when it comes to Capital Allowances.

Your accountant may have claimed some qualifying items, such as loose fixtures, fittings or equipment.

➡️ But have they looked at the full history of the building?
➡️ Have they reviewed past transactions, refurbishments or improvements?
➡️ Have they physically surveyed the property to identify embedded qualifying expenditure?

If not, there could still be significant value left unclaimed.

Introduced in the Autumn Statement of 2018, SBA offers tax relief on capital expenditure to construct new non-residential structures. But navigating the rules isn’t straightforward – and missteps can mean lost savings.

At Elect, we help property owners, developers and advisers correctly identify, categorise, and claim SBA in line with HMRC guidance.

Here’s what you need to know:
🔹 SBA applies to new build structures only – not second-hand purchases (unless an SBA Statement is provided)
🔹 All other capital allowances must be claimed first
🔹 Claims start from the date the building is used for a qualifying activity
🔹 A detailed analysis is essential to ensure the correct categorisation of spend

Leasing a commercial property? You could still be entitled to valuable Capital Allowances.

Many business owners miss out on this generous tax relief because they assume it’s only for property owners. If you lease a property, you can still claim – provided you meet certain conditions.

Here’s what you need to know:
✅ Qualifying expenditure – Includes plant & machinery, fixtures, and integral features like electrical systems, heating, and lifts.
✅ Ownership matters – You must own the qualifying assets, even if they are part of the leased property.
✅ Fixtures & fittings – If you install and own items like lighting or air conditioning, you can claim on these.
✅ Landlord contributions – You can only claim on the portion you’ve funded yourself.
✅ Leasehold improvements – May qualify for Capital Allowances or the Structures & Buildings Allowance.

The bottom line:�Leasing a property doesn’t mean missing out. If you’ve invested in qualifying assets for your business, you could be sitting on a significant tax-saving opportunity.

Owning a commercial property comes with significant costs – but Capital Allowances can turn those expenses into real tax savings. These allowances let you claim tax relief on qualifying items within your property, such as heating, lighting, electrical systems, sanitary ware, and more.

The result? A reduced taxable profit and a smaller tax bill, often unlocking thousands of pounds back into your business.

Before the UK Government’s 2018 Budget, many costs linked to commercial properties didn’t qualify for tax relief. Capital Allowances gave tax breaks for assets like machinery, but left out much of the spending on property. The new measures changed that, opening up more opportunities for businesses investing in commercial buildings.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 (𝗦𝗕𝗔)?
Structures and Buildings Allowances (SBA) gives businesses tax relief on money spent building or improving non-residential properties like offices, hotels, or shops. To qualify, the costs must have been incurred on or after 29 October 2018, with contracts signed after this date.

𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝗦𝗕𝗔 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀
You may be able to claim capital allowances for structures and buildings if you have built or renovated a structure, even if it’s leased to you. You can also claim if you bought a structure from a developer, based on eligible costs in the purchase price. If buying from a non-developer, you can claim what the previous owner was entitled to, as long as you get a valid “Allowances Statement” from the seller.
