On the basis that you have arrived at this web site because you are looking for an energy assessment on your commercial premises and therefore you’ll know something about energy performance certificates you are also on the right track to make some potential savings on the cost of refurbishment of your commercial property.
As you will by now appreciate if you have a commercial property for sale or lease then before a new tenant or purchaser can be found you will need an energy performance certificate.
But let us just say that before marketing the property for sale or lease that you are seriously considering refurbishing the premises – and I don’t just mean a new coat of paint then a visit to the ECA web site may be of use to you. Did you know that Enhanced Capital Allowances can allow you as a business to claim 100% first year capital allowances on your spending on qualifying plant and machinery?
If you follow this link http://www.eca.gov.uk/etl/default.htm it will take you directly to the government sponsored web site and provide you with additional information about what does and doesn’t qualify and could result in some considerable savings for you.
What isn’t often realised is that you may have purchased / are considering purchasing something that isn’t within the ECA list – however you may have also purchased a component that does meet the ECA criteria and there is a handy calculator on the web site to help assess what you can claim.
The following example is an extract from the web site –
“Take, for example, a motor that qualifies for the Energy Technology Criteria List (ETCL) but sits within a non-ETCL qualifying compressor. The claim value equals the proportion of the total investment that qualifies for the allowance, and should be used when making a claim.”
The section on the eca.gov web site that relates to this can be found at :-
http://www.eca.gov.uk/etl/claim/claimvalues.htm
If you have any queries in respect of Enhanced Capital Allowances you should seek assistance from your advisors – in the same way if you require advice on commercial Energy Performance Certificates you should telephone us on 0870 770 8747 or e-mail us at admin@ceauk.co.uk with your query.
