At Complete Capital Allowance, we assist farmers and agricultural businesses in claiming capital allowances by identifying qualifying assets to maximise tax relief. Here’s how we help:
1. Identification of Qualifying Assets
Plant and Machinery: This includes tractors, combine harvesters, ploughs, and other farming equipment.
Farm Buildings and Structures: Items such as barns, silos, and other storage facilities.
Integral Features: Electrical systems, heating and cooling systems, water systems, and other integral features within farm buildings.
Environmental and Energy-Saving Equipment: Assets such as solar panels, wind turbines, and other renewable energy installations.
2. Detailed Property Survey
On-Site Assessment: A detailed survey of the farm to identify all potential qualifying expenditures. This can involve a physical visit or a remote assessment using provided data, our unique software and documentation.
Embedded Fixtures: Identification of less obvious qualifying fixtures that are part of the farm’s infrastructure, which may be overlooked by non-specialists.
3. Preparation of Reports
Comprehensive Reporting: We prepare a detailed report that lists all qualifying assets and their respective values, which forms the basis for the capital allowances claim.
Documentation for HMRC: Ensuring all necessary documentation is prepared and submitted to HMRC, including any justifications and explanations needed to support the claim.
4. Submission and Follow-Up
Handling HMRC Queries: Managing any questions or concerns raised by HMRC during the claim process.
Efficient Processing: Streamlining the process to ensure the claim is processed as quickly as possible, typically within 4 to 8 weeks.
Benefits to the Farmer or Agriculture Business
