After 12 months of adjusting and learning how to operate during a global pandemic, we know that you have become accustomed to regular changes across the board, which is unfortunately no different across the insurance market. We are seeing many insurance providers withdrawing from the care sector, making your next renewal potentially more difficult.
As care insurance experts, we wanted to share with you how COVID-19 has been affecting the market, and what you should be thinking about when you approach your renewal.
We also wanted to help with a few other pieces, such as escape of water and how you can put measures in place to avoid claims, advice from our insurer partner Markel Law on claiming capital allowances, and how to stay safe online.

| How to prevent Escape of Water claims |
| |
| Water damage claims cost the insurance industry hundreds of millions of pounds every year and are thought to account for over 50% of business interruption claims. Prevention, rather than cure, is very much the answer. |

| Speak to a Markel Tax specialist |

Tax relief for businesses and companies can be claimed through capital allowances. These allowances are calculated on the cost of any capital expenditure on assets used within a business – this is usually plant and machinery or property.
Over half of all businesses in the UK do not currently claim their full
entitlement to capital allowances, meaning they could be missing out on tax relief worth hundreds of thousands of pounds!
The Markel Tax team is available to assist Towergate clients by identifying capital allowances claims relating to past, current or future expenditure. Also, by consulting with a Markel Tax specialist before incurring any capital expenditure, any future tax claims could be maximised, resulting in an overall corporate tax saving. |
