Music Studio and Office – Ipswich
Boosting Tax Efficiency
for Creative Workspaces
The Property
Creative and mixed-use spaces like music studios often house embedded systems that qualify for Capital Allowances but are often missed in standard tax assessments.
This Ipswich-based music studio and office, purchased for £261,258, had never been reviewed for such allowances—despite substantial qualifying expenditure.
Our team conducted a detailed site survey, identifying acoustic installations, lighting, ventilation, IT systems, and soundproofing as integral elements eligible for relief. We also found upgrades to the office areas, including electrical systems, climate control, and partitioning, all qualifying under embedded Capital Allowances.
Our Approach
The client had assumed that any tax relief had already been accounted for by their accountant.
However, our specialist team applied a forensic-level analysis to uncover £69,644.93 in unclaimed embedded Capital Allowances.
We then prepared a detailed technical report to support the claim and submitted it to HMRC.
Thanks to our expertise and the application of the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), the client secured an immediate tax saving of £12,409. Beyond the immediate benefit, this also enabled the business to reinvest in future upgrades to the studio, contributing to both creative output and long-term operational resilience.
