Our private client team specialise in structuring for UK property investors.

The UK’s tax regime is complex, and it is particularly important to consider the distinctions between:

  • Investing in UK property, and UK property development

  • Commercial and residential property

  • Resident and non-resident investors

  • Investing in your own name or through a structure such as a company or trust

It is crucial to take advice in order to understand the tax implications arising from a UK property investment, and to mitigate the UK tax exposure where possible.

It is better to consider any planning opportunities prior to acquiring UK property.

We can assist with a range of associated UK property tax issues including:

  • Structuring for UK property businesses

  • Offshore company and trust taxation

  • “Enveloping” and “de-enveloping” of UK properties

  • Advice on the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (“ATED”)

  • Assessing an individual’s residence and domicile position

  • Stamp Duty Land Tax on the acquisition of UK property

  • Tax reporting for non-UK resident landlord individuals and companies

  • Advising on the availability of principle private residence relief and other available reliefs

  • Capital gains tax for non-residents

  • Planning for tax-efficient remittance of funds to the UK

  • Business Investment Relief for non-domiciled taxpayers

  • Completion of tax returns with associated disclosures etc.
