A company purchase needs a review of the property, purchaser and proposed use, not simply a choice of tax rate. Edge considers the transaction date, ownership arrangements and relevant SDLT rules before advising on your purchase.
Higher residential rates and a separate regime for certain corporate acquisitions can apply. Relief from one regime does not necessarily remove other higher rates. See our specialist SDLT advice for related purchase and enquiry support.
Reliefs may be available for qualifying property rental, development or trading activities, but the conditions and evidence need careful review. We assess the proposed use and supporting documents and explain the basis of any claim, including relevant ongoing conditions.
Some company-owned residential property also falls within Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED). The valuation rules, exemptions and reliefs need a separate assessment; having no tax to pay does not always remove the need for a return. We can review the filing requirements alongside your acquisition.
Tell us the property location, proposed price, purchasing entity, intended use and expected completion date. We will establish the scope of advice and documents needed, working with your solicitor where appropriate. If you also need support with your existing rentals, explore our property accountancy for landlords.
Tell us what you need help with. Our team will contact you to agree a suitable time to discuss your property accountancy or tax enquiry.
