Milton Keynes Accountants — Specialist Tax Claims Service
Specialist Tax Claims That Are Often Missed
Some tax reliefs require specialist knowledge to identify and claim correctly. We help businesses assess whether valuable reliefs apply, and where they do, ensure claims are prepared accurately and supported properly.
Specialist Reliefs & Allowances
Why These Claims Are Frequently Overlooked
Capital allowances on property and R&D tax relief can deliver significant benefits — but only when the rules are applied correctly and supported by evidence.
Where Opportunities Are Commonly Missed
Many businesses miss out on specialist tax reliefs because they’re not obvious from the accounts and require deeper technical review.
- No Specialist Review: Claims not considered as part of routine compliance work.
- Assumptions Made: Property costs or development work treated too simplistically.
- Late Advice: Opportunities lost because planning wasn’t done early enough.
- Incomplete Claims: Reliefs understated due to poor identification of qualifying costs.
- HMRC Risk: Claims made without sufficient evidence or technical support.
Specialist claims require specialist handling.
What Proper Specialist Review Can Deliver
With the right expertise, legitimate claims can be identified, quantified, and submitted in a way that stands up to HMRC scrutiny.
- Detailed Analysis: Identifying qualifying expenditure that’s often overlooked.
- Early Input: Advice provided before opportunities are lost.
- Robust Documentation: Claims supported by technical analysis and evidence.
- Defensible Positioning: Alignment with legislation, case law and HMRC guidance.
- Clear Outcomes: Understanding what relief is available — and why.
Accuracy and evidence matter as much as opportunity.
Our Approach
Specialist Claims — Reviewed, Quoted, And Delivered Properly
Specialist claims are not suitable for a one-size-fits-all approach.
We:
- Carry out an initial assessment to confirm whether a claim is appropriate
- Provide clear, fixed pricing for specialist work before proceeding
- Work alongside other advisers where required
- Ensure claims are fully supported if queried
Opportunity assessed first — claims made only where justified.
Capital Allowances On Property — Identified And Claimed Correctly
When a business purchases, builds, or extends property, a significant proportion of the cost may qualify for plant and machinery capital allowances — but only if properly identified. This can represent up to 40% of the purchase price!
Where Claims Commonly Arise
- Fixtures installed or attached to the property such as radiators, toilets, sinks, fitted kitchens
- Integral features within commercial buildings such as lighting, electrical, water and heating systems
- Property extensions and refurbishments
- Fit-outs and internal installations
Early involvement is essential, particularly on property purchases, where elections and contract wording can affect entitlement.
R&D Tax Relief — Claimed With Technical Support
R&D tax relief is available to companies working on projects that seek to achieve advances in science or technology, where the solution is not readily available knowledge. For example — software development, product development, new processes, engineering design, manufacturing problem solutions, etc.
We Support Claims By
- Assessing whether projects meet the definition of qualifying R&D
- Preparing clear technical narratives aligned with HMRC guidance
- Identifying and calculating qualifying costs
- Submitting claims that are accurate, proportionate, and evidenced
Claims can be made whether the company is profitable or loss-making, but they must be prepared carefully.
Strong claims are built on clarity and evidence.
ICAEW Regulated
Why ICAEW Regulation Matters
Here’s The Uncomfortable Truth:
In the UK, anyone can wake up tomorrow, print a business card, and call themselves an “accountant.”
- No guaranteed training
- No guaranteed regulation
- No guaranteed insurance
- No built-in consequences
We’re Different.
We’re Chartered Accountants — regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW), one of the most respected professional bodies in the world.
Why Does That Matter To You?
Because when it comes to your tax, your business, and your financial future, the person you choose is the difference between peace of mind and potential disaster.
Here’s What This Means To You
- Recognised by Mortgage Lenders. Many lenders require references from qualified accountants. Our credentials tick that box.
- Dealing with HMRC is easier when your accountant is properly qualified, regulated, and supervised — exactly what ICAEW membership guarantees.
- Mandatory Professional Indemnity Insurance. If something ever goes wrong, you’re protected. Full stop.
- Rigorous, Top-Tier Qualifications. We’ve completed years of training, exams, and practical experience before earning the letters after our name.
- Independent Quality Checks. We are subject to ICAEW practice reviews and regulatory oversight.
- Right of Complaint. If you ever have an issue (rare, but possible), you have access to an independent process through the ICAEW — not just “take our word for it.”
- Independent AML Regulation. The ICAEW, not HMRC, oversees our money-laundering compliance—an independent professional body.
Bottom Line
When you choose a Chartered Accountant, you’re choosing someone who is regulated, insured, qualified, independently monitored, and held to the highest ethical standards in the profession.
Why gamble your business on someone who isn’t?
