How Partners Can Benefit

We partner with a wide range of firms who have clients who own/occupy commercial property:

Accountants

Solicitors

Tax specialists

Finance providers

Property agents

It is estimated that less than 10% of UK commercial property owners have claimed on their full entitlement to capital allowances. Therefore, more than 90% of property owners have huge sums of money resting within HMRC awaiting a claim.

Working together, we can provide you with the support and assistance so you can approach appropriate clients with a proposal that allows them to benefit from making a capital allowance claim. We can then progress the claim on your and your client’s behalf.

How we work with our partners

  • Get to know you and your business
  • Agree an onboarding plan for your clients
  • Provide CPD seminars
  • Keep in regular contact and involve you in all claims

The benefits to your business

  • It can become a ‘light touch’ new income stream
  • It expands the range of services you offer to clients
  • It can help increase client retention
  • You can call on our expertise when capital allowances are raised by your clients

Stuart Rivers

Senior Partner

Stuart is a chartered Quantity Surveyor who formed Stuart Rivers Associates in 1993 after having worked for major national surveying practices where he first encountered Capital Allowances. 

Stuart quickly developed the practice into one of the country’s leading specialist Capital Allowance consultancies providing advice to not only major accountancy practices but also to investors, developers and building owners no matter the size of the business or whether they owned a single building or a large portfolio of property.

 Stuart’s philosophy, which runs through the core of the company, is to provide a service to clients that is accurate, comprehensive, and effortless but above all generates plenty of tax relief.

Consultancy

Whether you are buying or selling we can provide appropriate clauses for the sale and purchase agreement to safeguard potential capital allowances and also advise a potential value of Capital Allowances for negotiation purposes. 

Construction expenditure

We can analyse both current and historic construction expenditure from the available information to ensure you gain the appropriate Capital Allowances from your expenditure. 

For example: 

The refurbishment of an existing building for £1 million could generate between £300,000 and £700,000 of tax relief. 

Property purchases

When acquiring a property either from a developer or a previous owner, we can identify and assess the Capital Allowances you may be entitled to. 

For example: 

A commercial property bought for £1 million could generate between £100,000 and £400,000 of tax relief depending on the type of property. 

It is still possible to claim Capital Allowances on property bought many years ago!
