How to Use Property Investment Structures to Supercharge Your UK Returns
Maximising Your UK Property Investment Returns with Limited Company Setups
In the dynamic world of property investment, the choice of structure can significantly impact your returns. This comprehensive guide will unveil the truth about limited company property investment in the UK and its potential to boost your earnings.
The Rising Popularity of Limited Companies
With HMRC‘s stamp duty surcharge on additional properties, many investors are turning to limited companies to minimise their tax burden. According to HMRC data (2021), the number of property transactions made by limited companies has been on the rise.
Limited Liability Protection
One of the primary advantages of a limited company structure is the limited liability it offers. As an investor, your personal assets are shielded from any financial obligations or debts associated with your property investments.
Tax Efficiency and Cash Retention
Limited companies can help you reduce your tax liabilities through tax-efficient strategies. For instance, by retaining profits within the company, you can delay paying corporation tax. Additionally, limited companies can claim expenses that individuals cannot, such as business entertainment and professional fees.
Access to Mortgage Finance
While it may be more challenging to secure mortgage finance for a limited company compared to an individual, many lenders now offer solutions tailored to property investors operating through limited companies. FXM Properties can help you navigate this process and connect you with suitable lenders.
Dealing with Capital Gains Tax
When it comes to capital gains tax, the rules for individuals and limited companies differ. Companies pay capital gains tax on any profit made when selling qualifying assets, at a rate of 19%. However, as an individual, you can make use of your annual exemption and personal allowance to reduce your tax liability.
