Three in five (57 per cent) of small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) in the South West are unaware they can claim tax relief on premises they own.
According to a survey published this week, in the past just one in 10 local businesses have applied for capital allowances tax relief available on commercial property, such as an office, surgery, warehouse, hotel or other business premises.
“We know that thousands of businesses in the south-west, from veterinary, dental and GP practices to nurseries and hotels are sitting on a potentially significant tax windfall,” a spokesperson for the survey says.
“Capital allowances are obscure at the best of times but they can be extremely lucrative when identified.”
