We'll take care of the accounting, so you can focus on what matters.
A property limited company pays Corporation Tax on its profits at rates between 19% and 25% depending on the level of profit. Unlike individual landlords, a company can still deduct 100% of mortgage interest as a business expense before calculating its taxable profit. Dividend distributions to shareholders are then taxed at dividend rates in the hands of the individual recipient.
Every limited company must file annual accounts with Companies House within nine months of its accounting year end, and a Corporation Tax return (CT600) with HMRC within twelve months of the accounting period end, with any tax due within nine months and one day. We prepare all of these filings and meet every deadline on your behalf.

This is a complex decision. Transferring properties into a company is a disposal for CGT purposes (unless Incorporation Relief applies) and may trigger SDLT on the market value of the properties. While the ongoing tax savings can be significant for higher-rate taxpayers with large portfolios, the upfront costs can be substantial. We run a full cost-benefit analysis before recommending a course of action.
