Can we get YOUR business more money?

FIRSTLY, LET US STATE, THIS IS FREE TO FIND OUT, WE WILL CARRY OUT A FREE SURVEY OF YOUR COMMERCIAL PREMISES AFTER SPEAKING WITH YOU ON THE PHONE IF WE FEEL WE CAN HELP. We specialise in this, and for the last 10 years we have found savings and rebates of over £70m for businesses around the country and have a 100% claim success rate. Most of you will know about ‘capital allowance’ and will already have your accountant claiming for your business expenses on things such as: computers, furniture, stock, cars etc… but what we cover is a specialist area called PEFF’s, these are Property Embedded Fixtures & Features’

and cover additional taxable items such as: lifts, heating systems, security systems, sanitary ware, electrical systems, kitchens etc. These items were either inherent within the property at the time of acquisition or could have been subsequently installed.

WHY ARE THESE ITEMS MISSED? Until an accountant, owner or leaseholder instigates the process of identification i.e. a ROOM BY ROOM SURVEY with appropriate valuations of the qualifying items, they will remain unclaimed. This means a substantial benefit is missed as items that are fixed, screwed, nailed to or within a property are taken for granted, unless identified by an experienced tax

specialist after carrying out a survey.

WHO CAN CLAIM THE BENEFIT? The tax benefit is available to the party that incurred the expenditure – purchasing a commercial property OR funding refurbishment or extensions.

HOW IS THE BENEFIT CLAIMED? The tax claim is used to generate a tax repayment where appropriate and is then used as tax credits to reduce future tax liabilities,this helps protect your income against tax. Capital Allowance Review Service ensures that the tax benefit is utilised in the most efficient way for your circumstances.

CALLING ALL ACCOUNTANTS WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR CLIENTS, WE PROVIDE ALL ASPECTS REQUIRED TO GIVE YOU THE PEACE OF MIND YOUR CLIENT IS BENEFITTING CORRECTLY AND ENSURING YOU ARE FULLY PROTECTED. Many are aware this tax benefit is available but now realise this benefit requires expert knowledge and specialist support. We work in a manner that carries both you and your client through the whole process ensuring you are able to continue to manage the day-to-day pressure of your own expertise.

• We provide a full initial assessment of a client’s position, FREE OF CHARGE. • We provide a complete process when claiming the benefit for your client.

• We maintain full responsibility for the claim and complete interaction with HMRC, if and when required.

YES – THIS IS REALLY TRUE… but people assume they’re already claiming for everything they can, but 9 times out of 10, they’re not!

1. My accountant already deals with our capital allowances. Isn’t this something they should have done already? Most accountants do provide capital allowances advice. However, we have consistently been able to generate significant extra value by identifying opportunities to increase and accelerate tax savings. This is even where our client was initially sceptical that we would be able to add any value beyond their existing adviser.

2. My accountant assures me they have already claimed everything. We are specialists, we have a different skill-set and more in depth and up-to-date understanding of capital allowances law and practice than most accountants, who deal with the issue less frequently and widely than us. Your accountant will claim on everyday purchases such as curtains, carpets, fire extinguishers and radiator covers but unless a specialist surveyor has analysed the property then you may be missing out on a potentially large capital allowance claim. We are not undermining your accountant. It is not in his remit to perform these retrospective claims. Your accountant is not a property expert. If your accountant hasn’t undertaken a detailed survey of the property it is highly unlikely that all allowances have been claimed.

3. What if this causes problems with HM Revenue & Customs?

HM Revenue & Customs are used to dealing with these claims and our specialist advisers will deal with all stages of the process. In the unlikely event of any issues being raised it is part of our service to resolve any queries.

4. Do we need invoices? No, valuations are part of the process. 5. Will this affect my capital gains tax or reduce the value of my property? When you come to sell this will in no way affect your capital gains tax liability nor can you be taxed on a tax repayment. Capital allowances are a right, not a privilege, and are not taken into account when property is valued

for commercial or accounting purposes.

6. I bought my property 10 years ago. Can I still claim? Yes. It is possible to claim capital allowances in any later years’ tax return, as long as the assets are still owned in that later tax year.

7. I don’t have sufficient taxable profits to benefit from capital allowances. Should I bother with them? Yes. In our experience it is always best to identify capital allowances qualifying expenditure promptly. Firstly, you may have other income, or profits elsewhere in a group of companies, that the capital allowances can be set against.

And secondly, when you become profitable and have used all your carried forward tax losses, then the capital allowances will be invaluable. Many allowances can also be ‘disclaimed’, which means identifying and agreeing the amount qualifying for tax relief up-front, but choosing to defer claiming the relief until it is actually needed. However, on many occasions we have seen businesses short-sightedly failing to claim capital allowances because they are loss-making, and then not claiming in later profitable years when they need the relief.

8. It sounds too good to be true.

There must be some hidden costs? There are absolutely no hidden costs. Should we fail to identify an additional £50,000 in unclaimed capital allowances then there are no fees whatsoever. In short, there is absolutely no catch, if you benefit then.

DIVORCE | FINANCES | CHILDREN LIVING TOGETHER | CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS

Townsend Family Law Solicitors, 2nd Floor, Trinity House, Sewardstone Road, Waltham Abbey, Essex EN9 1PH

Tel: 01992 892214 www.townsendfamilylaw.co.uk

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A GOOD DIVORCE? YES, SAYS RESOLUTION, A FAMILY LAW ASSOCIATION OF WHICH THE SOLICITORS AT TOWNSEND’S ARE MEMBERS. Figures from the Office for National Statistics suggest that 42 per cent of all marriages in the UK end in divorce. The number of older couples divorcing has reached an all-time high.

However the length of time couples are staying together is on the increase. Currently a marriage last about twelve years on average.

So what’s a “good divorce”? It’s a situation where a separating couple make a joint decision not to fight over a settlement or the children but rather reach an agreement about their finances and child arrangements in a constructive and nonconfrontational way. It’s about discussion rather than disagreement - compromise rather than a fixed expectation.

Can it work? It is reported that couples who settle by agreement leave the divorce process in a much better place in terms of their relationship with each other as well as acceptance of the

settlement than if they had fought it out in court.

How does it work? There are a range of options.

Talking to each other and being honest about what is important to you both leaving a marriage is the cheapest settlement out there. It doesn’t involve mediators or lawyers in the legal wrangling. If talking doesn’t work or stops working, try mediation which involves both of you meeting with one mediator to work through the issues to help you arrive at a settlement that you are both happy with. If that doesn’t work, experienced solicitors are there to help you who are committed to settling your case without wasting precious time or money.

Solicitors can apply their experience of other cases to advise you about the likely outcome if you ended up in court. At Townsend’s our aim is to keep your case out of court because we know how expensive that can be. Our job is to manage your expectations and to give you honest and frank advice about your approach to a financial settlement and resolving arrangements for your children. We can then enter into negotiations on your behalf.

The aim of a good divorce is to reduce the damage to families and their finances.

However, for a good divorce

to work, a couple needs to embrace the principle and commit to the process. If emotions are still running high, this will impact on how much can be achieved. If you are still feeling raw after the breakup of a relationship, you might benefit from some counselling or other therapeutic support before you open up discussions.

Technology can be a helpful tool for couples to distance themselves from conflict. Use a joint online calendar for parenting, for example, to help you plan when the children and with you and your former partner. A calendar which is visual can also help the children keep up with arrangements as they settle into a new routine.

Divorce is rarely “good”. It can be painful and daunting but a commitment to working together will go a long one to ensure that you leave the process in a much better place than when you entered it.

At Townsend Family Law we offer a no obligation one hour fixed fee consultation at half our hourly rate.
