Capital Planning

Berthold Bauer currently has over £1/2 Billion of net client capital expenditure under review and we have become one of the country’s leading advisors for VAT & TAX mitigation for sizeable building projects. This includes advice on:

• Private Finance Initiatives (PFI)
• Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT)
• Split commercial usage
• Non-Business construction and refurbishment (including Contracted Out Services recovery)
• Mental Health Secure Unit projects
• Application of the Option to Tax
• Residential conversions
• Listed Building Refurbishments

Our role is to liaise with main contractors, professionals and HMRC and to apply our knowledge for all VAT & TAX reclamation eligibility (e.g. other than solely relying on the basic Contracted Out Services) and to provide a thorough audit trail backed by our Professional Indemnity cover.

We have demonstrably, and regularly, proved more successful than any other consultancy we have crossed, including the Big 4+ accounting firms.

The relationships we build with contractors and professionals allow us to agree reclaims with HMRC at the earliest stages – boosting cash flow, flexibility and budgeting.

As with most VAT and Tax aspects, the earlier the tax cost is approached and discussed, the more VAT recovery can usually be maximised. Therefore, please contact for FREE informal advice to discuss any planned project.
