Embedded Capital Allowances · UK Commercial Property

The 11 allowances hidden in your building.

When you buy, build or refurbish commercial property, a large slice of the cost is tax relief sitting unclaimed inside the fabric — wiring, heating, lifts, sanitaryware. Most owners never claim it. See what your property could unlock in 30 seconds.

The 11 allowances

There is no single HMRC "list of 11" — these are the distinct reliefs a commercial property can unlock. Tap any tile. Rates as of 2026; date-sensitive ones are flagged.

This is an indicative estimate, not tax advice. We Switch identifies the opportunity and introduces you to our partners — the regulated specialists who provide the survey, the advice and the claim. Actual relief depends on a RICS Red Book survey, a "just and reasonable" apportionment (s562 CAA 2001), and the property's fixtures/s198 history. Post-April-2014 purchases need the seller's pooling + a s198 election to have been done. Residential property is excluded.
