Want your next surgery upgrade to pay you back? We dive deep into capital allowances for dental practices and show how renovations, fit-outs, and even property purchases can turn into serious tax savings without schemes or risk. With specialist insight from property tax expert Chris Lonergan, we break down the simple idea that changes everything: move as much spend as possible into fast plant and machinery allowances, and keep the slow structures and buildings bucket to a minimum.
We walk through clear, real-world examples: from a £500k Victorian conversion that produced roughly £490k in allowances, to scenarios where higher-rate income taxpayers receive chunky cheques by carrying claims back. You’ll learn what really qualifies in a clinic setting, including electrical systems, plumbing, ventilation, data, alarms, fitted kitchens, reception, and partitions. We also explain why loose clinical kit is just the start, and how the unseen assets inside your walls often hold the biggest value when properly surveyed and categorised.
Buying a building? The seller’s status matters. Conversions from residential, purchases from non-taxpaying entities like the NHS or charities, and acquisitions from developers can preserve large pools of embedded allowances for you. Leaseholders who fund their own fit-outs can also claim, as allowances follow the spender. We cover the pitfalls too: why most accountants can’t value second-hand buildings or parse interim certificates, how to approach grants, and when a specialist report unlocks PMA you didn’t know you had.
