Commercial Property Owners Owed Billions ££££££ An estimated 96% of all commercial property owners are paying too much tax by not claiming your capital allowances. So what exactly are Capital Allowances? Capital Allowances are retrospective claims based on the purchase price of a commercial property. This is not a contentious tax avoidance scheme or loophole, but is based on established UK Statutory law dating back to 1878. Every building has claimable allowances inherent within the purchase price and these are a valuable form of non-conflicting relief. The legislation was rewritten
6
in 2000 and is incorporated in the Capital Allowance Act 2001. Claims can be made retrospectively: there is no time limit on how far back you can go in your ownership of the property. You can even go back four tax years for a tax refund. Many of you will be aware that your accountants claim capital allowances for “movable” fixtures and fittings, plant and machinery. You will also be aware that you can’t claim such allowances for the “immovable” fabric of the building which is viewed as a non-depreciating asset. The grey and normally overlooked opportunity exists with the class of assets in the area between “movable” and “immovable”. Clearly office furniture is movable and the roof is immovable. But what about fixtures such as air-conditioning, emergency lighting and alarm systems? These are normally considered by accountants as “freehold improvements” and therefore not eligible, but HMRC will agree otherwise provided you approach them in the correct way, with the correct information presented in the approved manner.

Property owners often ask us why their accountants haven’t advised them about capital allowances and the answer is quite simple. Capital Allowances are a highly specialised area of the tax system, shrouded in complex legislation, and require many specific skill sets to identify and claim. So it is no reflection on the professionalism and diligence of accountants that many allowances go unclaimed.
Tax Claims have appointed Jeanette Edmiston, probably the UK’s top Capital Allowance Adviser, to head up its report team.
Typically we find Capital Allowances equivalent to 25% of the property’s purchase price and our fee is 6% plus VAT of the identified Capital Allowance. However, if we don’t secure you at least £25,000 in unclaimed allowances you won’t owe anyone a penny.
For further information please contact Robert McKee at Portal Tax Claims on 07899 963990 or by e-mail: r.mckee@portaltaxclaims.com
Jeanette holds a degree in law and a degree in quantity surveying. She is also a qualified chartered surveyor. She has spent the last 9 years at KPMG London and was previously at Deloitte & Touche where she was responsible for building up the Capital Allowances part of the team. Jeanette To Claim Capital Allowances you (or your company) commented “Portal Tax Claims is a forward-thinking must satisfy the following criteria: business and this is a rare opportunity for me to join what is already a highly-regarded team of You are a UK taxpayer (Income Tax or Corporation capital allowance specialists.

Richard Alexander has worked in financial services for 36 years and provides specialist financial planning services to expat and UK clients with accumulated capital who prefer the personal touch of a dedicated and trusted financial adviser. Richard aims to build long term client relationships by understanding their aspirations, to appreciate their concerns, sensitivities and risk tolerances and to provide a bespoke solution designed to achieve their goals. At the core of financial planning is recognition of the main objectives, which can often be expressed as a need for growth or income. Even when the objective is simply wealth preservation, a focus on growth will be needed to offset the effects of inflation. For people moving or retiring abroad, currency risk is a further consideration. Pension income may arise in the currency of the country of origin and fluctuations in exchange rates will affect the level of income. However, some private pensions can be transferred into a new plan held in the appropriate currency which will remove future currency risk.
10
Spain
Inheritance Tax may be a major consideration; Inheritance Tax in the UK is calculated by reference to the Estate of the deceased person whereas in Spain, it is calculated by reference to the beneficiaries, with the rates of tax varying, depending on who the beneficiaries are and their relationship to the deceased. Tax may also be due in both countries but there is a dual tax treaty which should ensure that double taxation can normally be avoided. Earlier UK planning may have involved the use of Trusts in the UK or offshore. If this is the case, you need to be aware that Spain does not recognise the status of Trusts and if you are the Settler of a Trust who has become Spanish tax resident, the local tax authorities are likely to ignore the Trust and treat the assets and income or gains arising as your personal income or gains and seek to tax you accordingly. Clients of RAFP benefit from our relationship with local tax specialists in each country and can be confident that their investments will be appropriate to their individual tax position and future plans.

Does Midas Business Solutions Have The Midas Touch? Midas Business Solutions is a fledgling company based in Ashford serving the whole of Kent. It’s the creation of two men with suitable business experience and the know how to develop a business and maintain and in most cases increase profitability.
Midas will slash your company’s costs without compromising on the quality of service and will give you the best advice to help grow you business. Midas is a one stop shop for businesses providing innovative cost reduction solutions and uses expertise in all areas of range of administration.
“The thinking behind the company is simple” says Ian Sleeper, Midas’s co founder. “We recognised there are companies whose owners may not have the time or inclination to deal with the general day to day business administration”.
“Now is not the time to bury your head in the sand but to face facts because now are tricky times and all around us are businesses either in administration or are facing a winding up order.
He continued “company owners generally want to do what they are best at and what they set up to do from day 1 and that is to talk about their own business and promote their own goods and services and are reluctant to get themselves involved in those non sexy areas of the business but find themselves having to or they employ staff to do some of that for them but are themselves not experienced or qualified to do so” “As a consequence we find too many businesses overpaying for contracts and services and we find they are not employing their staff as efficiently as they can be” “All this is totally understandable but totally unnecessary. Many company owners often find themselves chasing their tale and spinning round and round in circles wondering which way to turn whilst taking their eye o ff the ball and losing a sense of direction for their business. While this is going on they are not allowing time to manage and control their administrative overheads.” So what is the answer? Midas Business Solutions aim is to cure all administrative headaches and stop Managing Directors from going in circles. They are able to take over all administrative duties including business finance, payroll, bookkeeping, accountancy, accreditations, telecoms, office equipment, IT, marketing, web design, health and safety, energy efficiency and banking. “If I said we can provide all this AND guarantee to reduce you overheads, cut costs and increase your profits.....would you be impressed?” he said.
12
You’re not superman and you cannot do it all yourself and the more you try, the more you’ll fail. It is no disgrace to fail and it is certainly no disgrace to ask for help. Midas has the capacity to take on those tasks that are keeping you from doing those things you really want to be doing and that is talking about your company.” “And if I said we can carry out a FREE company health check that will involve a free consultation consisting of combing through your company accounts and giving advice on where cost savings can be made........wouldn’t that be worth giving a go?” Austerity needn’t mean severity Austerity, it’s all you ever hear about these days.......Downturn, Recession, Credit Crunch, call it what you will, it can wear you down? Business wise this could be the worst of times but Midas Business Solutions aim to make it the best of times. Poor sales needn’t be the end or even the last chance saloon. If your business, like most businesses, are on a rocky road or facing sticky times now is a good time to take stock of what you presently have, look around you and start to cut costs. Cost cutting needn’t mean expensive redundancy payments and an attack on your overheads is not an attack on your resources. Does Midas Business Solutions have the Midas touch? Find out for yourself at www.midasbusinesssolutions.co.uk or ring 01233 643500.

WARNING NOT READING THIS MAY SERIOUSLY HARM YOUR POCKET
NOT ADVERTISING IS SUICIDAL FOR ANY COMPANY Every company needs to advertise if it is to remain in business, especially in these tough economic times. Even the dominant worldwide companies like McDonalds & Coca-Cola advertise on a regular basis. When customers think of a product they want – whom do you want them to think of? If they don’t know who you are or what you have to offer they will be turning to your competitors. Every day you are not advertising is another day your competitors win your potential customers. Those customers might not need your product immediately but the more often they see your Company Name the more chances they will remember it when they do need your product. During the busy hot summer months when holidaymakers are making your tills ring, it is all too easy to forget that come September you will need to actively encourage new customers to use your business. Advertising in our Online Publication ACROSS KENT offers realistically priced advert costs, helping to save your overall budget plus giving your company great exposure to the general public. A large survey was conducted in 2009, which centred on the changing reading habits of the general public. The over-whelming opinion, when it came to reading was that people prefer to read a newspaper or magazine ON-LINE because it was FREE, it was easy to access & it is more environmentally friendly, so no wastage of paper. Each monthly issue of ACROSS KENT is electronically delivered to almost 12,500 recipients with that figure growing on a virtual daily basis, which not only offers genuinely low advertising rates for businesses but also offers the readers a publication that they look forward to receiving because it is full of interesting articles and features. We also offer businesses the opportunity to offer Special Discounts to our customers using our Discount Coupon Section at the rear of the ACROSS KENT on-line Magazine. Here you can encourage potential customers to visit you at perhaps a quieter time of the week and keep those tills ringing. For details of how to advertise in our next issue please email: info@findacoupon.co.uk or telephone us on: 0844 588 7611.

Writing Your Will ………. it couldn’t be any easier A will is probably the most important legal document you’ll ever own, and yet more than 60% of adults in the UK die without one. If a will is drafted correctly, it could save a great deal of tax for your beneficiaries; it could protect the family home against long-term care fees; it could protect the inheritance of the children of a former marriage; it could avoid loss of state benefits for a disabled person. So why do so many people keep putting it off? The reasons commonly given are cost, the inconvenience of having to visit the solicitor’s office, and the problems of understanding all the legal jargon. Here at Sterling Wills Ltd., we publish our fees on our website (www.sterlingwills.co.uk) so there are no nasty surprises; we include a home visit as part of the service, at no extra cost, and we explain everything in plain English, all of which adds up to a very good reason for not putting it off any longer. Anything you tell us will be in the strictest confidence; no information will be passed to any third party. We are members of the Society of Will Writers and we adhere to the Society’s Code of Practice.

Managing Director Ronald Bateman makes this pledge: ‘We have a number of priorities in the way we do business, such as observing the highest ethical and professional standards, fair dealing, protecting all personal data – the list is a long one. But top of the list is customer satisfaction, closely followed by value-for-money, and we’ll never be complacent about those two goals, because all the others then fall into place. After all, there’s no better form of advertising than a satisfied customer.’ However simple or complex you requirements may be, our Consultant will ask all the relevant questions and present you with the appropriate options. For example, you may wish to protect 50% of the family home against long-term care fees; this would require trusts to be included in the wills. Or let’s say you need discretionary trusts in your wills; these can serve a number of purposes, such as protecting a disabled person from losing state benefits because he or she inherits a large sum. If the inheritance is held by the trustees so that they can release funds as and when they’re needed, the state benefits will not be lost. And, most importantly, we don’t sell; we simply offer a solution to your own individual needs and we let you choose. PLEASE CALL US ON 0845 4900324 or email info@sterlingwills.co.uk to arrange an appointment or for further information.

THE SUMMERHOUSE SALON The Summerhouse Salon provides a private but professional setting for your beauty and personal grooming needs. All treatments are performed by myself and take place in my self contained summerhouse located in the back garden. This avoids the embarrassment many people, especially men, feel at having to walk into a salon. There are no queues or waiting around in reception areas and you don’t have to walk pass anyone else. The summerhouse is unisex and caters for both men and women and specialises in intimate waxing for both men and women. You are assured of a friendly and welcoming service and I am fully qualified and insured for all treatments. I am always open to new ideas and try to stay ahead of the latest treatments and products. I provide a range of holistic and beauty treatments that you can mix and match in any combination you would like. I look forward to helping you wit your beauty needs.
