Visit Exeter are working with Zeal to find better ways for business owners in the area to benefit from specialist tax incentives available to you from HMRC.
Zeal’s experts shine a light on untapped savings hidden in your business. What most small and medium sized business owners do not realise is, if you own your business premises, there is a specialist UK tax legislation that allows you to claim tax relief on the ‘Embedded Fixtures’ that were in the property when you purchased it. This includes the electrical, heating and ventilation systems, kitchens, bathrooms and much more.
This is not something an accountant would have already claimed due to the need for expert tax knowledge and a technical property survey.
By making a claim on these fixtures, significant cash repayments and tax savings can be achieved. Our clients receive on average £25k in tax relief. Our team has a 100% success rate on submitted claims! To find out more, watch our short explainer video: https://bit.ly/3tAJlVq or visit www.gozeal.co.uk
Call 01633 287898, visit www.gozeal.co.uk or email hello@gozeal.co.uk.
