What Are Capital Allowances?

As a UK taxpayer, capital allowances offer a fantastic opportunity to reduce your taxable profits when buying a dental practice. These allowances provide tax relief on your expenditure related to commercial properties, including plant and machinery items within the building's fabric. Often overlooked in the overall purchase price, these items, such as radiators, heating systems, alarms, and more, can be claimed to help you save on taxes.

What Could This Allowance Be Worth?

Capital allowances' value varies based on the type of business use and property. A typical dental practice purchase may claim up to 50% of the purchase price or build cost as an allowance, effectively lowering your income and corporation tax liability. If you've already paid taxes on your investment, you could even be eligible for a refund from HMRC.

How Is This Allowance Used?

Your accountant can utilize up to 18% of your total tax-allowable expenses to reduce your annual income tax bill significantly. For example, if you have £100,000 of allowable expenses and receive an £18,000 tax reduction, you'll save £7,200.
