Refurbishment of a Cinema |
|
|
Our team was contacted by an accountancy firm we frequently work with to provide advice on the refurbishment of a cinema room for a charity. Several grants had been received towards the refurbishment works so they were unsure how to treat them for tax purposes and if there would be an impact on any capital allowances claim. Zeal reviewed all the grant paperwork and refurbishment costs and . . . Read more |

Zeal have just finished working with a new software client who had 'previously claimed' R&D tax credits, however, the client had recently discovered the extent of their prior claim was simply a figure in their tax return. No technical backup nor breakdown of what costs made that figure up was included. Had HMRC enquired into this claim, it would have been extremely difficult to defend.

When one looks at the various insurers’ adverts and marketing materials, on any platform, it is easy to notice that each one claims to be “the market leader”, or “unbeatable”, or such like statements. To be blunt, they’re all wrong. Every single one of them.

This is especially true when it comes to technical tax and VAT advisory, despite what they claim . . . Read more |
