"With 5.5 million private sector businesses registered in the UK, 99% of which are small and medium-sized enterprises, smart tax planning has never been more important for business owners looking to protect their bottom line. It's common for SMEs to overpay on taxes simply because they don't know what they're entitled to claim. Chris Roberts, Managing Director at Capital Allowance Review Service, a firm that specialises in helping UK commercial property owners and investors uncover overlooked tax reliefs, explains: "Small business owners work incredibly hard for their profits. The tax system offers legitimate ways to reduce your burden, but people often miss out because they don't realise what's available to them. Understanding these reliefs can make a significant difference to your cash flow and long-term growth.""
"Capital allowances can apply to a wide range of business assets, from machinery and equipment to fixtures within commercial properties," says Roberts. "Business owners may not realise that items like heating systems, electrical installations, and even certain building alterations can qualify. And it's not just for new purchases either. You may be able to claim retrospectively on assets you've owned for years."
"For 2025, the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) allows businesses to claim 100% tax relief on qualifying plant and machinery up to £1 million. This means significant savings on everything"
5.5 million private sector businesses operate in the UK, 99% as small and medium-sized enterprises. Many SMEs overpay taxes due to lack of awareness of entitlements. Small business owners can use legitimate tax reliefs to reduce their tax burden, improve cash flow, and support long-term growth. Capital allowances permit deduction of eligible asset costs from profits before tax, covering machinery, equipment, and fixtures within commercial properties. Items such as heating systems, electrical installations, and certain building alterations can qualify, and claims can sometimes be made retrospectively. The 2025 Annual Investment Allowance provides 100% relief on qualifying plant and machinery up to £1 million.
