At Apex Accountants & Tax Advisors, we provide tailored tax advice for both commercial and residential properties. Each property type involves unique tax considerations. Therefore, our specialised Commercial & Residential Property Tax advisory services ensure that tax efficiency is maximised while maintaining compliance with regulations.
For commercial properties, VAT advice and the intricacies of Transfers of Going Concern (TOGC) are crucial. Moreover, our Tax Efficiency experts excel in these complex areas. Therefore, they offer expert guidance to navigate these challenges effectively.
Choosing to opt for tax enables VAT recovery on purchases and expenses related to commercial properties. This choice carries significant financial implications. Therefore, it must be carefully evaluated to assess its benefits for specific situations. Property Tax Compliance implications are also taken into account during this evaluation.
Significant tax savings can result when capital allowances on commercial property fixtures and fittings are identified and claimed. As a result, this process helps reduce taxable profits. Furthermore, our Property Tax Compliance experts assist in claiming these allowances, ensuring that Property Tax Advisory is maintained throughout.
For properties with both commercial and residential components, complex VAT rules are navigated by our advisors. In addition, they ensure correct treatment and thus maximise tax benefits. Furthermore, effective Real Estate Tax Planning is essential to managing these complexities effectively.
A TOGC occurs when a business is sold as a going concern, potentially providing VAT relief if certain conditions are met. Through our advisory services, we ensure:
We assist in structuring the transaction to meet all necessary criteria for TOGC, allowing you to avoid charging VAT on the sale. Our business tax advisors ensure that Property Tax Advisory services are seamlessly integrated into the TOGC process.
Proper documentation and timely filing are crucial for TOGC treatment. To ensure smooth compliance, we handle these aspects meticulously, ensuring that Property Tax Advisory is fully adhered to.
For residential properties, our tailored tax advice focuses on optimising tax reliefs and managing rental income efficiently.
Deductible Expenses
We identify all allowable expenses, such as repairs, maintenance, and management fees, to reduce taxable rental income. Our strategies incorporate Property Tax Compliance considerations to ensure maximum efficiency.
Mortgage Interest Relief
Although mortgage interest relief has been limited, available reliefs are still maximised. Our specialists guide you through these options effectively.
Joint Ownership and Spousal Transfers
We structure ownership to utilise lower tax bands effectively, particularly in cases of joint ownership or property transfers between spouses. Real Estate Tax Planning is applied to enhance tax efficiency in these scenarios.
Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs)
For landlords with multiple properties, setting up an SPV offers tax advantages and simplifies management. By holding properties within a limited company structure, you leverage Property Tax Advisory services to benefit from potentially lower tax rates and improved compliance.
When dealing with commercial properties, VAT considerations become paramount. The decision to opt for tax is significant and can have far-reaching consequences. By choosing this option, you can reclaim input VAT on expenses related to the property. However, this choice also means that VAT must be charged on rent or sale proceeds. The long-term financial impact must be carefully analysed, integrating Property Tax Compliance considerations.
Capital Allowances present another area where significant tax savings can be realised. These allowances can be claimed on various fixtures and fittings within commercial properties. By conducting a thorough survey, eligible items for capital allowances can be identified, leading to substantial reductions in tax liabilities.
For mixed-use properties, the VAT landscape becomes even more complex. Different rates and rules may apply to various parts of the property. Our expert advisors develop a clear strategy to navigate these complexities, ensuring that VAT is correctly applied and that all available benefits are maximised. This approach aligns with effective Real Estate Tax Planning.
TOGC rules can provide significant VAT savings when a business is sold as a going concern. However, strict conditions must be met for a transaction to qualify as TOGC. Our advisors structure transactions to meet these conditions, potentially saving substantial amounts in VAT. Property Tax Advisory remains a key focus throughout this process.
Proper documentation in TOGC transactions is crucial. Every aspect of the transfer must be meticulously documented to support the TOGC treatment. Our team manages this process efficiently, ensuring that all necessary paperwork is in order, filed correctly, and on time, aligning with comprehensive Property Tax Advisory services.
For residential property owners, efficient management of rental income taxation is vital. By identifying a wide range of deductible expenses, including often-overlooked items such as travel costs for property management and home office expenses for landlords, taxable rental income can be significantly reduced. Despite restrictions on mortgage interest relief, opportunities to maximise available reliefs still exist. Our advisors develop strategies to optimise these reliefs within the current regulatory framework, ensuring robust Property Tax Advisory.
The way property ownership is structured profoundly impacts tax liabilities. For couples, joint ownership can be strategically used to utilise both partners’ tax allowances and lower tax bands. In some cases, transferring property between spouses can result in significant tax savings. For portfolio landlords, using Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) offers numerous advantages. By holding properties within a limited company structure, you can leverage Property Tax Advisory services to benefit from potentially lower rates. Additionally, this structure provides greater flexibility for reinvestment and expansion of the property portfolio, supported by expert Real Estate Tax Planning.
