Real Estate Tax
The pace of change in the world of real estate taxation over the past five to ten years has been extremely rapid.
Our clients usually all have the same concern - to understand the tax treatment of their transactions and avoid any pitfalls. We have the expertise within the team to provide you with clear, commercially sound tax advice and to ensure that the structure meets your needs. This is invaluable for getting the transaction moving in the right direction from the outset.
We can help bring greater certainty to your property transactions by advising on the wide range of tax issues affecting:-
- acquisitions of both properties and corporate “special purpose vehicles” which hold properties
- sale and rental of properties
- construction and development of properties
We advise on VAT, SDLT and capital allowances, and structuring such as “Prudential” planning and golden-brick schemes. We have also helped clients involved in major infrastructure projects achieve solutions to their SDLT issues.
