Using a Property Company to Save Tax
If you own property one of the biggest decisions you must make is whether to invest personally or start your own property company.
There are lots of reasons for starting a company but probably the most important one is to SAVE TAX.
In fact the potential tax savings are so large that we decided to devote a whole guide to the subject. Our analysis shows that, by following certain techniques, you could earn around 27% more profit by using a company to invest in property.
Alternatively, in less buoyant times, we also show you how a property company could enable you to turn a pre-tax loss into an after-tax profit.
There are also a number of traps to avoid and pitfalls to negotiate so it is essential that you arm yourself with all the relevant facts. This guide looks at the whole picture and explains ALL the tax consequences of property company ownership.
"An excellent tax resource....informative and clearly written using numerous case examples to demonstrate how the tax system will apply to different landlords with different financial circumstances."
