Commercial Properties

Frequently Asked Questions

Do trading companies pay different tax compared to property investors?

Yes. Trading income is taxed differently, and VAT plays a much bigger role. We tailor advice based on your business model.

Can I recover VAT on refurbishments and service costs?

Often, yes. But recovery depends on use, type of tenant, and business structure. We make sure you apply the rules correctly.

Is it better to operate through a group or single company?

It depends on your scale, funding, and risk profile. We help assess whether group structures or SPVs work best for your goals.

What records should I keep for HMRC?

Detailed transaction logs, invoices, and VAT treatment notes are key. We help set up proper systems so you’re always ready.

Do hotels need to register for VAT?

Yes, most hotels and accommodation businesses exceed the VAT threshold quickly. We ensure you register, reclaim, and report properly.
