Capital Allowances

We are now at the start of the 2 year transitional period for the new capital allowance rules for 'fixtures' in commercial property. These new rules as set out in Section 187A of the Capital Allowance Act 2001 require careful consideration for both sellers and buyers a like and failure to adhere to the new rules could mean substantial and valuable capital allowance tax reliefs could be lost forever.

Capital allowances for fixtures in a commercial building now need to be addressed and contracted at the negotiation stage between buyer and seller. During the transitional period the 'fixed value requirement' of the new legislation is mandatory.
