Whether you own a residential buy-to-let or commercial premises, get started with a free consultation to learn more about how we can help.

How can we help?

There are a variety of property taxes in the UK, from one-off charges on a purchase or sale, such as Stamp Duty Land Tax or Capital Gains Tax, to regular liabilities like Personal Income or Corporation Tax on rental profits.

If you’re an investor or landlord, it can be difficult to keep up – especially when the rules change, as they often do in the UK property sector.

Without specialist knowledge, figuring out the best approach for your situation is challenging. This can easily lead to overpayments, missed opportunities to use an exemption or relief, and lower returns on your property investments.

We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen to you. Our trusted property accountants can help with the following:

FAQs

Should I set up a limited company to invest in property?

This has become one of the most common questions asked by property investors. Limited companies can claim mortgage interest payments as an expense to reduce their tax bill, but individuals cannot. Even so, this doesn’t mean limited companies are always the best choice. The right property ownership structure depends on your portfolio size, situation and plans. We can determine which structure offers the greatest savings for you.

Does ATED apply to me?

The Annual Tax On Enveloped Dwellings (ATED) only applies to companies that own a property worth more than £500,000. Even then, it only applies to some types of properties (mainly anything that can be used as a residence). So if don’t own property through a company, or it’s worth less than £500,000, then it doesn’t apply to you.

I've just inherited a property, what taxes am I liable for?

It depends on what you do with the property. If you’ve inherited a rental property, and you continue to let it out, then you must report the income on an annual self-assessment and pay tax on the profits. If you’ve inherited an empty property, and you decide to sell, you may be liable for capital gains tax if the property has increased in value since you inherited it.

Does VAT apply to property transactions?

VAT can apply to certain property transactions, such as commercial property sales, leases, or refurbishments. The rules are complicated so get in touch and we can help ensure you don’t fall foul of the rules while minimising costs.

How can a property tax advisor help manage my portfolio?

As a property tax advisor, it’s our role to help you structure your portfolio in a tax-efficient manner, calculate and reduce your tax liability, extract profits (either in the form of dividends or regular income), and ensure full regulatory and reporting compliance (thus avoiding a stressful HMRC investigation). Plus, we can provide support with unlocking equity and growing your portfolio.
