What happens in a Capital Allowance survey?

Bryan Hyde, Head of Surveying at STax, recently carried out a survey at a leisure club.

From the gym floor to the outdoor facilities, every fixture and fitting was carefully assessed to identify assets that could qualify for valuable tax relief.

A Capital Allowance survey is more than just ticking boxes – it’s about understanding the property in depth. Bryan methodically records, photographs, and documents items such as:

• Specialist lighting and electrical systems
• Plumbing, heating, and air conditioning
• Built-in fixtures and equipment unique to the leisure industry

By capturing this level of detail, we ensure our clients can claim their full entitlement – often uncovering allowances they never knew existed.
