“I was signposted to Catax via my accountant. From the first meeting through to completion of the process, I dealt with same person; Grace. Surveys were organised when worked for us, the process was straight forward and transparent, with an amazing outcome. Our first corporation tax bill since moving to our new premises is £0 thanks to the process undertaken by Catax, with further funds to come off our next corporation tax at the end of next year. I had no idea this tax relief existed and it has made a huge difference to us and has made all the expenditure less painful financially. I would recommend this company to anyone without reservation. Great customer service, runs like clockwork and stress free.”

I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to claim Capital Allowances tax relief.”
Peter Harrington
“I have to admit that when our accountants suggested you could prepare a capital allowances claim, I was very sceptical. I really thought it would be a waste of time, especially bearing in mind the limited information we were able to give you. However, your team have done a very professional job, and we stand to gain many £1000s from the work they have carried out.”
Duncan Carter
BPK Estate Agents“I have now worked with Catax on Capital Allowances claims for two properties. They have provided an exceptional service throughout the process and successfully completed our claim for the qualifying property with minimal input from ourselves, whilst maintaining excellent communication and requesting only the information that was required. I would highly recommend their services as we would not have been able to process these claims as effectively without their help and expert knowledge.”
Howard Braband
“The team at Catax have proved invaluable in processing our Capital Allowance claim. The communication throughout the process has been great and the specialist knowledge they have provided allowed this claim to process with minimum time being taken from our busy schedule.

“Catax have directed us through the process of claiming our Capital Allowances tax relief on two medical centres, identifying over £115,000 in claimable Capital Allowances. The knowledge and guidance the Catax team provided was excellent, we would not have been able to process this claim as smoothly or effectively without them.”
Lucy Docking
Dental Precision and Revitalise Dental CentreI was contacted as a cold call by CATAX and they tried to explain the service they offered – I asked for it to be sent in an email. Questioning myself thinking this was a scam I sent the email to our accountants who replied saying we had nothing to lose. I then thought it would probably be loads of admin time and finding paperwork but thought I would give it a go. Wow! so pleased I went ahead, it really wasn’t very difficult or time consuming and we received a fantastic result.
Brian Reay
Pagg Properties Ltd“I write to thank you and your business team at Altrincham for the professional advice which you have recently provided to us. More-over, I wish to highlight the way in which your team responded to our particular requirements to undertake the necessary survey and report within the time constraints we had to impose. Your team acted with understanding and an ability not always evident in modern organisations. I would be pleased to recommend your services to others in the commercial property market who I am sure would benefit as we have done.”
Malcom Ross
Gleek, Cadman & Ross“In order to completely unlock the full tax benefits that can be hidden within commercial properties, you need time, resource and specialist expertise. As a busy accountancy firm, this is an area of taxation where we have found our partnership with Catax invaluable. Not only do they help us, and our clients, but they also work with us proactively, to help us identify opportunities that we had not previously considered. This enables us to concentrate on our core business, whilst Catax work in the background, providing us with an additional service to offer our clients and also a substantial, new revenue stream for our business”
Debbie Chinn-Shaw
Keevil & Co Chartered Accountants“I came across Catax at an ICAEW event I attended. Their presentation highlighted the significant amounts of hidden tax relief in commercial property. I had been reluctant in the past about making a Capital Allowances claim for one of my clients who has a commercial property – I felt sure that the time and cost involved would outweigh any benefit the company would receive. However, during the initial consultation Catax reassured me that if they couldn’t identify over £25,000 of unclaimed Capital Allowances, there would be no charge at all. With this in mind, my client and I decided to engage Catax’s services. The process itself was very straightforward and only required a few hours of the company’s time. In the end, Catax identified £56,137 of unclaimed Capital Allowances. I was very impressed with the detailed report they provided and their financial summary made it very simple to prepare a revised claim to submit to HMRC. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
Rob Young
SB&P Chartered Accountants“Having now worked with Catax for a number of years I’m delighted to be able to recognise the high degree of professionalism and diligence shown by your organisation. Over the period you have processed a number of claims and achieved a significant number of successful repayments. I look forward to our continuing to work with you in the future.”
Peter Ward
PKW Accounting“We have worked with John Horrocks of Catax when dealing with larger, more complex capital allowances claims. John and his teams expertise in the field, gives piece of mind that our clients receive the maximum relief from capital allowances within the constraints of capital allowances legislation. We at PKW Accounting pride ourselves on providing a high level of service to our clients, for this reason when partnering with other firms it is important that they hold the same values when it comes to level of service, as they become an extension of the service you provide.

All necessary information is provided and any questions are answered in timely and concise manner.”
Simon Miller
Cut Price Tiles“We have been able to offset savings against future taxation & therefore we can only but recommend them. The entire process was painless and involved a simple survey & some simple questions that needed answering & the process time was less than 3 months. Therefore in conclusion, if anyone owns a commercial freehold building then these services are essential”
