What are Embedded Capital Allowances?

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Embedded Capital Allowances often missed?
They’re frequently overlooked because qualifying items are embedded within the building and not separately itemised in property purchase documentation or standard accounting records.
Will claiming affect my property’s value or future sale?
Claiming Embedded Capital Allowances has no impact on property value or resale, and the benefit remains with the current owner unless transferred.
Can I claim if I’ve already submitted my tax return?
You can amend previous Corporation Tax returns within the allowable time limits to include a valid Embedded Capital Allowances claim.
Is a survey of the property required?
It may be necessary to carry out a specialist survey to identify and value the qualifying embedded fixtures accurately, especially those not detailed in invoices or contracts.
What documentation will I need to support a claim?
You will need to provide financial documents such as a Fixed Asset Register, Tax Returns & Computations, Accounts and relevant invoices.
How long does the claims process take?
From initial review to submission, most claims are completed within 4–8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the property and availability of documents.
Will HMRC require further information or challenge the claim?
HMRC may request clarification, which is why it’s crucial to submit a robust, compliant report - our experts manage any HMRC engagement on your behalf.
