Over the past twenty years, David Rees has established a reputation as a key thinker, promoter, and conference speaker on the subject of Capital Allowances tax reliefs in the UK’s commercial property sector. David was a pivotal figure in the original Capital Allowances specialists Crosher & James and following their merger with Davis Langdon - at that time the UK’s largest cost management practice - ran their south of England tax team for over ten years. In 2010 the global US consultancy AECOM took over Davis Langdon and David became a national business development director. After two years he left to set up DavidRees.Co which later rebranded as Afilia Capital Allowances. Afilia’s client base ranges across many sectors, from offices and industrial, to nightclubs and nurseries. Projects have ranged from a simple extension to a care home, to a new office scheme in London costing over £100m.
