As a landlord, your tax situation is much more complicated than that of a regular employee on a salary. Depending on your situation, you need to think about income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax and the legal status of a property owner to make sure you get your tax situation right. It might seem like a bit of a chore, but good tax planning is an essential part of making a success of your business.
It’s important to think about how to deduct expenses from your income tax to save yourself a heavy tax bill year on year.
When you sell your properties, you can significantly reduce your capital gains tax if you make sure you know all the reliefs and exemptions available to you.
Your tax situation is significantly changed by how you hold your property. You can own the property as an individual, you can have joint ownership or own your property portfolio through a company, so get some guidance on choosing whether to own it yourself or own through a company.
When selling your property, it’s not enough just to think about the property market. Your tax situation can make a significant difference to when you sell – especially given the potential changes to capital gains tax announced by Gordon Brown’s pre-budget speech.
A tax investigation, sometimes the worst of experiences, can be made a little bit easier, if you know all about how to survive a tax investigation.
