Property carries some of the most valuable — and most easily missed — tax reliefs in the system. We advise individuals and businesses on the tax consequences of owning, transacting and passing on property.
VAT on property transactions
Property VAT is a common source of costly errors — the option to tax, zero-rating on new build, the reduced rate on conversions, the reverse charge in construction, and the treatment of mixed-use and commercial property. We advise before you transact, so the VAT position is right the first time.
Inheritance tax and property planning
For most families the largest asset is property, and that makes it central to inheritance-tax planning. We help you plan how property is held and passed on — using available reliefs, lifetime gifts and trusts where appropriate — to reduce the IHT exposure on your estate.
