Milton Keynes Chartered Accountants — specialist tax claims service
Specialist tax claims that are often missed.

Specialist tax reliefs & allowances
Why these claims are frequently overlooked.
Capital allowances on property and R&D tax relief can deliver significant benefits — but only when the rules are applied correctly and supported by evidence.
Tax claim oversights
Where opportunities are commonly missed
Many businesses miss out on specialist tax reliefs because they’re not obvious from the accounts and require deeper technical review.
No specialist review
claims not considered as part of routine compliance work.
Assumptions made
property costs or development work treated too simplistically.
Late advice
opportunities lost because planning wasn’t done early enough.
Incomplete claims
reliefs understated due to poor identification of qualifying costs.
HMRC risk
claims made without sufficient evidence or technical support.
What is needed
What proper specialist review can deliver
With the right expertise, legitimate claims can be identified, quantified, and submitted in a way that stands up to HMRC scrutiny.
Detailed analysis
identifying qualifying expenditure that’s often overlooked.
Early input
advice provided before opportunities are lost.
Robust documentation
claims supported by technical analysis and evidence.
Defensible positioning
alignment with legislation, case law and HMRC guidance.
Clear outcomes
understanding what relief is available — and why.
How we work
Specialist claims — reviewed, quoted, and delivered properly.
Specialist claims are not suitable for a one-size-fits-all approach.
We…
Carry out an initial assessment to confirm whether a claim is appropriate
Provide clear, fixed pricing for specialist work before proceeding
Work alongside other advisers where required
Ensure claims are fully supported if queried
Capital allowances
Capital allowances on property — identified and claimed correctly.
When a business purchases, builds, or extends property, a significant proportion of the cost may qualify for plant and machinery capital allowances — but only if properly identified. This can represent up to 40% of the purchase price!
Where claims commonly arise
Fixtures installed or attached to the property such as radiators, toilets, sinks, fitted kitchens
Integral features within commercial buildings such as lighting, electrical, water and heating systems
Property extensions and refurbishments
Fit-outs and internal installations
Early involvement is essential, particularly on property purchases, where elections and contract wording can affect entitlement.
R&D tax relief
R&D tax relief — claimed with technical support.
R&D tax relief is available to companies working on projects that seek to achieve advances in science or technology, where the solution is not readily available knowledge. For example — software development, product development, new processes, engineering design, manufacturing problem solutions, etc.
We support claims by
Assessing whether projects meet the definition of qualifying R&D
Preparing clear technical narratives aligned with HMRC guidance
Identifying and calculating qualifying costs
Submitting claims that are accurate, proportionate, and evidenced
Strong claims are built on clarity and evidence.
Patent Box relief
Patent Box relief — qualifying profits taxed at a lower rate.
Patent Box relief allows companies that develop and exploit qualifying patented inventions to apply a reduced Corporation Tax rate to profits attributable to that intellectual property.
It can apply where a company owns qualifying patents, or in some cases holds qualifying exclusive rights, and has been actively involved in developing the patented technology.
We support claims by
Reviewing patents and intellectual property to establish eligibility
Identifying income and profits attributable to qualifying patented technology
Calculating the proportion of profits that can benefit from Patent Box relief
Preparing the supporting calculations and documentation required for the claim
Patent Box relief can substantially reduce the tax payable on successful patented technology.
