Property tax

UK property tax has changed in the last few years. Without the right advice, you could end up on the wrong side of the complex rules and miss out on tax savings. Our dedicated real estate tax team can help. 

If you’re buying a commercial property, either as an investment or for your business to use, your tax liabilities will differ depending on the commercial structure you choose to hold the asset. 

Recent changes also mean it’s sensible to review your existing ownership structures to make sure they’re still right for you. If not, our experts will help you find a more fitting solution.
