June was an exciting month for the capital allowances team.
We were also delighted to be able announce our partnership with Sykes Holiday Cottages. The strategic partnership will enable Zeal to unlock significant tax savings through capital allowances for Sykes holiday let owners.
The capital allowances team completed claims for 36 different clients in June, unlocking over £4m in unclaimed tax relief. Below is a summary of three interesting cases we worked on:

Purchase of Building - New Record Claim! |
|
|
We had a new record for Zeal this month. Usually around 20% - 30% of a purchase price of a building qualifies for capital allowances. However, we completed a claim this month where 91% qualified! The light industrial building was purchased by our client direct from the developer. As a result, our client is the first . . . Read more |

Capital Allowances Review – Holiday Lets |
|
|

The first property was extended in 2020 and the new property was refurbished and a loft conversion added. Zeal reviewed the capital expenditure incurred to identify missed . . . Read more |

Over the past month we have received the draft legislation for the finance bill that contains further detail on recently announced R&D tax changes, as well as confirming other changes.
These changes will take effect from April 2023 and include:
- All claims will need to be submitted electronically.
- Companies will have to inform HMRC within 6 months of their year end if they intend to make an R&D claim. Companies that have made an R&D claim in the previous 3 periods do not have to notify HMRC. This will mean that companies who haven’t previously claimed, will be unable to go back the usual 2 years under normal statutory rules.
- All claims must include who the agent is (if applicable) and be endorsed by a senior officer of the claimant company.
- Pure mathematics will be an eligible field of science and technology.
- Subcontracted costs will be limited to those undertaken within the UK, unless it meets certain conditions around the activity having to be undertaken overseas for geography, environmental or population reasons . . . Read more

Over the past year, Zeal have helped 4 companies who’s claims had been prepared elsewhere settle (with two more ongoing) their enquiries. In each of them, HMRC had initially claimed that they had undertaken no R&D whatsoever and after requesting a call with HMRC all of the R&D was approved with help from our team. This month Zeal defended . . . Read more |

The July 2022 review reveals the ongoing changes within the four main providers in the TFPI arena; Croner Taxwise, Markel Tax, PFP and Vantage Fee Protect. There are several other additional providers and insurers, but they collectively only insure just 11% of the primary accountancy practice market. |

Ongoing changes in the TFPI market |
|
|
An interesting statistic of the market share of the main TFPI insurers shows that out of the circa 43,250 registered accountancy practices in the UK, 39,290 are VAT registered. These practices are most likely to be the primary TFPI target market. Of those, just under 30%, circa 11,550 of them, have a TFPI scheme of some sort.
It is estimated that up to 20% of the total registered accountancy practices are in the private practice sector or are dormant / semi-retired practitioners, and as such, wouldn’t be included . . . Read more
