In 2014 new legislation came into force that dictated how Capital Allowances should be treated at the point of disposal or acquisition of a commercial property owned by a UK taxpayer.
These New Rules continue to be very misunderstood and the consequences underestimated.

In addition to this, property advisers are exposed to negligence claims.
