Cumbrian Businesses Missing Out on Thousands in Unclaimed Tax Relief

Many commercial property owners across Cumbria could be overlooking significant tax savings, according to HMA Tax – the UK’s leading specialist in Capital Allowance Tax Relief. Capital Allowances allow commercial property owners to claim tax relief on embedded fixtures such as heating systems, lighting, kitchens, bathrooms, and other integral items. These allowances are often missed because they require specialist surveying and valuation rather than standard accounting treatment.

HMA Tax has identified over £750 million in previously unclaimed allowances for businesses across the UK, generating meaningful corporation and income tax savings.

“We regularly meet businesses who have simply never been made aware of what they can claim,” said Ronnie Dodd, Regional Claims Specialist at HMA Tax. “In Cumbria, many commercial property owners are sitting on substantial tax relief — often tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds. The process is fully compliant with UK tax legislation, and with no upfront costs, it’s a straightforward way to recover value that already belongs to them.”

Recent Examples in the Region:

  • Cumbrian hotel purchased for £1.8m unlocked £640,000 in capital allowances → £160,000 in corporation tax savings
  • Family-run guest house recovered £145,000 in allowances following refurbishment

  • £750m+ in allowances identified
  • Fees are success-based — no payment until benefits are secured
