Real Estate and Construction Taxes in London
Getting a handle on taxes in the real estate and construction scene, especially in central London, can be tricky. There are a lot of rules to follow and property prices are sky-high. If you’re a developer, investor, contractor, or property owner, knowing the UK tax laws is really important for running your business smoothly and making a good profit.
Taxes in Real Estate and Construction
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)
This is a mandatory tax on property transactions in England, including both residential and non-residential properties. We help you understand applicable rates, exemptions, and reliefs to ensure accurate payments and optimal planning.
VAT on Construction
The VAT treatment of construction services can vary depending on the nature of the project. We provide expert guidance on zero-rated, reduced-rate, and standard-rate scenarios, helping you stay compliant while maximizing VAT recovery.
Corporation Tax
Construction firms and property development companies are subject to UK Corporation Tax on profits. Our tax advisors ensure you remain compliant while optimizing deductions and allowances available in the sector.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
If you’re selling a property or piece of land, CGT could significantly impact your return. We develop strategies to mitigate CGT exposure, including use of reliefs and exemptions.
Inheritance Tax (IHT)
Transferring property assets to heirs involves strategic planning. We assist in structuring your estate to minimize IHT liabilities while ensuring compliance with UK laws.
