Property and Land Tax Relief
We help you reclaim overpaid Stamp Duty Land Tax, access Land Remediation Relief and claim Embedded Capital Allowances—making the process seamless so you can focus on your business.
What is Land Remediation Relief?
Land Remediation Relief (LRR) is a tax incentive provided by the UK government to encourage businesses to clean up contaminated or derelict land ready for development. This relief is designed to support companies in reclaiming sites that were previously unused due to historical industrial contamination, pollution or long-term neglect.
Businesses can claim up to 150% of qualifying remediation costs by deducting these expenses from their corporation tax. The incentive aims to mitigate the financial burden associated with redeveloping these sites, encouraging urban regeneration and promoting a healthier environment. Eligible projects often include the removal of asbestos, treatment of harmful substances and clearing of derelict structures to enable safe construction and usage.
Benefits of Land Remediation Relief
Land Remediation Relief offers substantial financial and environmental advantages for businesses involved in the clean-up and redevelopment of contaminated land. By claiming this relief, companies can not only reduce their tax liabilities but also contribute to sustainable development and economic growth. Here are some of the key benefits:
Tax savings
Businesses can claim up to 150% of the costs incurred in cleaning up contaminated land, leading to attractive tax savings.
Cash flow improvement
Loss-making companies can surrender losses for cash payments, enhancing cash flow.
Enhanced property value
Remediating land raises its market value, attracting future development opportunities.
Environmental sustainability
Cleaning contaminated sites promotes sustainable development and protects the environment.
Are you eligible for Land Remediation Relief?
Property developers, investors, and commercial landowners can all benefit from the tax savings and environmental improvements offered with Land Remediation Relief. Whether enhancing property value, transforming neglected land, or investing sustainably, this relief provides a financial edge.
Ownership or major interest
The company must own the land or hold a leasehold interest of at least seven years. The land must have been acquired in a contaminated or derelict state.
Intention to develop
The company must intend to bring the land back into productive use, whether for commercial or residential purposes.
Qualifying contamination
The land must be affected by qualifying contamination, such as asbestos, heavy metals, hydrocarbons or invasive plants.
Not the original polluter
The company must not have caused the contamination themselves.
No subsidies
The expenditure must not have been subsidised by grants or other financial assistance.
What are Embedded Capital Allowances?
Embedded Capital Allowances are tax relief opportunities for businesses investing in properties. Unlike standard Capital Allowances, which apply to individual items, Embedded Capital Allowances relate to specific features within a building, such as essential equipment and integrated systems. By claiming these allowances, businesses can lower their tax bills based on asset depreciation. At The Introducing Broker, we help you identify and claim these allowances to maximise available tax relief.
The benefits of Embedded Capital Allowances
Claiming Embedded Capital Allowances can benefit your business financially and provide some key advantages:
Tax savings
Lowers taxable income, reducing your overall tax burden.
Increased profitability
Recovers costs related to capital investments, boosting your overall profits.
Better financial planning
Provides insight for budgeting and forecasting your financial needs.
Improved cash flow
Accessing tax refunds can free up cash for day-to-day expenses or new investments.
Fund business growth
Recovered funds can be reinvested in your business for future expansion.
Are you eligible for Embedded Capital Allowances?
Understanding if you are eligible for Embedded Capital Allowances is essential for optimising your tax relief. If your business has made investments in commercial properties or improvements, you might qualify. Here are the main factors to consider:
Property type
You must own or occupy a commercial property, such as an office or warehouse.
Qualifying expenditures
Investments in essential features like fixtures and integrated systems are needed.
Historical investments
You may be able to claim allowances for past investments, so reviewing your previous spending is important.
Business use
The property must be used for business purposes, and the features should support your operations.
Regulatory compliance
Ensure that your business follows all tax regulations regarding Capital Allowances.
What is a Stamp Duty Land Tax reclaim?
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) reclaim is a process that allows property buyers to recover overpaid Stamp Duty. Many people overpay SDLT without realising it, often due to complex regulations and exemptions that are not widely understood. By reclaiming overpaid SDLT, you can potentially recover significant amounts of money that you are rightfully entitled to. At The Introducing Broker, our team of experts and partners specialise in identifying and reclaiming these overpayments, so you can receive the maximum refund possible.
Who we help?
Rest assured, at The Introducing Broker, our expert team and trusted partners are dedicated to helping you maximise your SDLT reclaim. We get the complexities of each client’s situation and personalise our approach to ensure you receive the support and expertise needed for a successful claim. We help:

Landlords

Homeowners
We assist homeowners in reclaiming any overpaid SDLT incurred during property purchases.
Are you eligible to make a claim?
Understanding why you might have overpaid SDLT is the first step towards reclaiming your money. If you answer “Yes” to any of the following, you may qualify for a refund:
Did you purchase a property with mixed residential and non-residential use?
Did you buy a property with an annexe or multiple dwellings?
Have you sold your previous main home within 36 months of buying a new one?
Have you bought a property that was uninhabitable at the time of purchase?
Were you a first-time buyer and overpaid SDLT due to incorrect calculations?
