Changes to the taxation of residential property

Individuals that own and let property are facing a number of changes to the way in which their rental income, and more importantly, the deductions they can make from their rents for income tax purposes, are changing.

They include:
1. An increase in the rent-a-room allowance.
2. The abolition of the wear and tear allowance if you let furnished residential property that is not part of a holiday lets business; and the introduction of a new replacement furniture relief.
3. The gradual restriction of higher rate income tax relief for finance costs.

Accountant’s review: Townhouse Oswestry – real value for money

As an accountant who grew up in Powys and Shropshire and spent a lot of my time in and around Oswestry, I feel passionate about the concept of spending my money locally – whenever I can.

Running a business – any business – is hard, and there are so many different challenges to overcome. But I think many new and existing businesses make the mistake of thinking just because they are local and have potential customers on their doorstep, all they have to do is open the doors and watch people come back time and time again.

Capital Allowances

It is now essential that the section of the Commercial Property Standard Enquiries (CPSE) form relating to capital allowances is completed fully.

If you own or are planning to buy a commercial property, it is essential you complete all necessary paperwork relating to capital allowances. The Commercial Property Standard Enquiries (CPSE) form needs to be completed accurately and comprehensively to ensure that any capital allowances have been claimed by the owner for any ‘plant and machinery and fixtures and fittings’ within the property.
