Using a Property Company to Save Tax

By Carl Bayley

Overview

One of the most important decisions to consider when investing in property is whether to invest on a personal basis, or whether to incorporate a property investment company to manage the dealings. Starting a property company to handle your investments has a number of benefits, but the most interesting and advantageous reason for doing so is to save tax.

Using a Property Company to Save Tax has grown to become one of Taxcafe's largest, most comprehensive tax advice guides to date, and their research has shown that by using a property company instead of investing personally, you could earn almost 40% more profit!

However, as with any such favourable tax break there are traps and pitfalls to be aware of and avoid. This guide will give you all the relevant facts and strategies you will need to successfully negotiate such dangers, and emerge with a prosperous and tax-efficient property company.

"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".
