That shiny new surgery, refit, extension, or “we had to do it for compliance” upgrade might be doing more for HMRC than it’s doing for you. We’re joined by Chris Lonergan, a tax consultancy director with deep construction and quantity surveying experience, to unpack how UK dental principals can be far more tax-efficient with property spend, legally, using capital allowances that HMRC expects to see claimed.
We talk through why dental practice premises are often a huge slice of personal and business wealth, and why missed relief hits cash flow at exactly the moment you need it for financing, recruitment, equipment, and growth. Chris explains capital allowances in plain language, the difference between plant and machinery allowances and structures and buildings allowance, and the types of “integral features” that are frequently overlooked, from electrical systems and HVAC to fitted cabinetry, security, and access equipment.
You’ll also hear why timing matters: what to do before you complete a property purchase, when to bring in specialist support during a build or refurbishment, and how delayed claims can reduce how quickly you can use the relief. If you’ve spent serious money on a fit-out in the last few years, or you’re planning one now, this conversation gives you a practical framework to ask better questions and protect your returns.
