Structuring
We can provide advice on whether properties should be held through a corporate structure or personally.

For companies, properties can be held either as investments with the ability to claim capital allowances and indexation relief or as trading assets, where the shareholders can obtain Business Asset Taper Relief on disposal.

We are able to advise clients on the use of tax efficient vehicles, including Limited Liability Partnerships and the tax ramifications of Joint Ventures.

There can be advantages for individuals who hold commercial properties personally and leave them to unquoted trading companies. In such circumstances, any gain on disposal will be subject to Business Asset Taper Relief.
