New structures and buildings capital allowance for commercial buildings

A new 2% straight line tax deduction, the structures and buildings allowance, has been introduced for the cost of construction or renovation of commercial buildings and structures.

This tax break will apply to eligible construction costs incurred on or after 29 October 2018 and will be available to commercial property landlords as well as trading businesses. The cost of the land is specifically excluded.
