Claim Negotiation
Who needs it?
Where Capitus has prepared claims for capital allowances on behalf of taxpayers. Our claim negotiation service is included within the overall package of services that we offer to reach an ultimate settlement. Capitus can also act for taxpayers who are experiencing difficulties with claims prepared by other advisors such as accountants or other surveyors and have been able to reach a successful negotiated outcome in these cases.
What is it?
The UK system of capital allowances is largely based on legislation combined with the interpretation of precedent-setting tax cases. As a result, there are a significant number of elements of any capital allowances claim which HMRC may interpret differently from a taxpayer. Such items can include land values, the apportionment of preliminary costs and professional fees, elements of electrical installations and alterations incidental to the installation of plant or machinery to name but a few.
Capitus has experience of dealing with HMRC and the Valuation Office Agency to agree the ultimate values of such claims to the taxpayer’s maximum possible advantage. Claims are negotiated quickly and pragmatically whilst still retaining the elements of disclosure and credibility which the taxpayer ultimately requires.
Please call 0121 447 8388 or e-mail enquiries@capitus.co.uk for queries on any of our services. We will personally get back to you. Our initial advice is free!
