Introduction
Capital allowances offer significant tax relief for commercial property/business purchasers, commercial property owner-occupiers, and investors.
However, many advisers are unfamiliar with legislation which introduced significant new obstacles to the capital allowances rules dealing with fixtures (Capital Allowances Act 2001 sections 187A and 187B).
The likely outcome is that unsuspecting property owner-occupiers and investors will lose all the capital allowances to which they should otherwise be entitled on property acquisitions. Failing to apply the new rules properly will prove costly to purchasers - even potentially damaging the market price of affected properties - and, therefore, potentially their advisers. The legislation is worded such that an error can never be put right, even if the property is sold.
This is not simply an issue for buyers and their advisers - sellers too can suffer crippling tax charges if the rules are not applied.
