Capital allowances
made easy
Most commercial property owners are sitting on capital allowances they’ve never claimed- often without realising it.
Our specialists identify what you’re eligible for, handle the process from survey to submission, and work directly with HMRC on your behalf, so you don’t have to.
The result: valuable tax relief unlocked, improved cash flow, and a lower overall tax liability – with expert advice tailored to your specific property and circumstances.
What are Capital Allowances?
Capital allowances are a form of tax relief for UK commercial property owners.
They can apply to qualifying items already built into a property, like heating, electrics, lighting and fitted fixtures, which are often overlooked when a property is bought.
CBS helps commercial property owners check for capital allowances they may not have claimed. Depending on the property and how it’s used, the potential relief can be significant.
Who can claim?
If you own a commercial or mixed-use property, you may be eligible to claim capital allowances, whether you run a business or let it out. Pure residential property isn’t eligible.
What could qualify?
Items built into your property, like heating, electrics, lighting and ventilation, may qualify. What applies depends on the property and how it’s used.

visit my property?

Capital Allowance Process Simplified
This relief applies to “embedded fixtures and fittings” within a building used for business purposes – including kitchens, bathrooms, carpets, electrical systems, heating and ventilation, and drainage.
Despite qualifying, an estimated 8 out of 10 small businesses and property investors have never claimed the capital allowances they’re entitled to on these embedded fixtures.
