At The Tax Lead, we work with residential and commercial developers, group structures, and seasoned builders who know the cost of poor planning. We go beyond compliance. We engineer tax-efficient strategies that help you retain more profit, avoid HMRC surprises, and deliver projects with confidence.
Commercial Property Developers
From office spaces to retail parks, we support commercial developers with tailored tax planning. We ensure you structure ownership and transactions efficiently, claim all eligible reliefs, and stay ahead of evolving legislation.
Residential Property Developers
Developing homes in the UK comes with strict rules and big opportunities. We guide you through land acquisition, development costs, and the impact of different ownership models to protect your margin at every stage.
Residential to Commercial Conversions
Changing the use of a property opens the door to planning benefits and tax savings, but only if it’s structured right. We provide insight on VAT, SDLT, and change-of-use strategies that work.
Property Conversion Developers
When you’re turning derelict spaces into high-value units, every pound counts. We help you build in tax savings from day one, with clarity around allowable costs, VAT schemes, and profit extraction.
SDLT Strategy Support
Stamp Duty Land Tax is more complex than it looks. Overpaying is common, but avoidable. We help you access reliefs, avoid misclassification, and time transactions to your advantage.
Capital Allowance & VAT Structuring
Missed allowances and poor VAT planning can eat into your profit. We help you map out every stage of the development so you know what can be claimed, when, and how.
