08 Apr 2020
In light of the current COVID-19 outbreak, cash flow is more important than ever. Taking advantage of certain tax reliefs can reduce your tax bill, generate tax credits and or tax refunds. Has your business considered maximising some of the below key tax reliefs available?
Capital Allowances:
- Do you own commercial property?
(for example; offices, industrial units, retail units, nursing homes, coldstores)
- Have you recently refurbished/completed fit-out of a commercial space?
- Have you considered the tax relief available for plant & machinery contained within the fabric of the building?
(for example; mechanical and electrical systems, hot and cold water systems, lifts)
- Capital allowances identified can range between 20% - 80% of the costs incurred, depending on the profile of the property.
Land Remediation Relief:
- Have you undertaken land remediation on a contaminated or derelict site for a commercial site?
- Was this work undertaken for the purposes of your trade?
- Or is your company a UK registered property business?
- Are you aware that you can claim an enhanced deduction of 150% for the clean-up costs?
(for example: asbestos removal, removal of pollutants and hyrdro-carbons, Japanese knotweed)
Research & Development:
- Have you developed or improved a product, process or service?
- Have you tried something new or pushed existing boundaries in your industry?
- Have you identified an issue in your sector and made efforts to overcome it?

- Have you been contracted to do any of the above?
- Small or Medium sized Enterprise (SME) can receive a benefit of up to 33% or if the Company is large and make a claim under the Research & Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC) scheme the benefit is 10.5%.
