Alles over Structures & Buildings Allowance Calculator
📋Overzicht+
Computes the Structures and Buildings Allowance: 3% per year straight-line on qualifying construction or renovation costs of non-residential buildings (a 33⅓-year write-off), or 10% per year in freeport and investment zone tax sites — pro-rated for the first year and converted into a tax saving at your marginal rate. Land cost never qualifies.
💡 Best practices
- Fixtures and integral features are plant & machinery — carve them out and claim the AIA or full expensing at 100% instead of 3%.
- On sale, the buyer inherits the remaining allowances, but the SBA you claimed is added to your disposal proceeds for CGT.
- An allowance statement is mandatory — without it the SBA entitlement is lost for ever.
🔢 Concreet voorbeeld
£1,000,000 of qualifying construction (plus £400,000 of land, excluded), brought into use mid-year: £30,000 annual allowance (3%), £15,000 in year 1, saving £7,500 a year at the 25% CT rate.
