Tax Advice

With the significant rise in land and property values over recent years, property taxes have become an increasingly important source of revenue for the Government. The rise of buy to let landlords and foreign property ownership has also driven a number of politically motivated tax changes. This has resulted in a raft of complex tax legislation and rules specifically focussed on property.

Our team of advisers can support and help you through this raft of tax legislation when undertaking a property transaction whether this be a property acquisition, a sale of property, entering into a lease or undertaking property development activities. The range of taxes which we regularly advise upon include:-

Stamp Duty Land Tax
VAT
Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (“ATED”)
Inheritance Tax on property
Capital Gains
Corporation Tax/Income Tax rules which affect property businesses
Construction Industry Scheme

We are also happy to work closely with other advisers which you engage with in property transactions such as property lawyers, surveyors and land consultants.
