The Tax Issues We Solve for You
These are the most common and costly tax challenges we help our clients navigate.
Trading vs Investment Classification
HMRC may challenge whether your property activities are a trade (income tax) or investment (CGT). The distinction is fact-specific and significant — we advise on the correct classification and document your position.
Letting Agency VAT
Letting agency management fees are standard-rated for VAT. Property management, insurance and other services have varied VAT treatments — we ensure your accounting is correct.
Capital vs Revenue
For property traders, correctly classifying expenditure as capital (added to cost) or revenue (deducted in year) significantly affects your tax position.
Stamp Duty and Multiple Transactions
High-volume property traders need careful SDLT analysis — particularly multiple dwellings relief, sub-sale relief and the higher rates for additional dwellings.
