ForrestBrown is delighted to announce the appointment of leading capital allowances specialist Peter Reynolds. Peter is joining us to help our clients make the best use of capital allowances.

Peter will lead a capital allowance service that sits alongside existing support for R&D tax relief and Patent Box incentives, further extending our offering for innovative businesses.

Peter brings over 20 years experience to our multidisciplinary team, having advised FTSE100 companies on fixed asset management and commercial property tax relief for a number of years.

This is another significant appointment for ForrestBrown. While R&D tax relief remains our core focus, clients consistently tell us they want our help with other tax reliefs related to innovation. By bringing Peter into the team, we can now deliver another key piece of the innovation funding jigsaw, ensuring clients can view the big picture when planning their investment.

Commercial property experience

Previously a tax partner with a top 10 accountancy firm, Peter will also call on extensive project management experience in the construction sector. This will enable him to effectively translate information from commercial property teams for tax and accounting processes, reducing the risk of misinterpretations and ensuring accuracy and consistency.

Peter’s advice will be relevant for all clients who buy, sell or incur expenditure refurbishing commercial property to ensure they optimise the tax reliefs available, particularly those in the retail, engineering and manufacturing sectors.

Peter’s appointment further underlines our commitment to supporting clients through the innovation lifecycle across a range of incentives and tax reliefs.

Peter relishes the opportunity to support our clients at an important time:   

“I’m excited to join ForrestBrown at a pivotal moment for many innovative businesses in the UK. With new rates for R&D tax relief now in force and the introduction of full expensing for capital allowances, it’s never been more important to understand the wider innovation tax landscape, of which capital allowances are a key component.”
