Property / Real Estate VAT Expertise – West London

Property / Real Estate VAT Expertise – West London

We advise property developers, commercial property buyers and construction businesses, on:

  • Recovering VAT on incurred VAT on projects.
  • Optimising VAT on:
    • Property purchases
    • Property sales
    • Property development costs

We frequently identify substantial VAT savings and use them with capital allowances. Many clients are unaware of these savings – before speaking to us. That’s because we provide comprehensive, tailored, property VAT advice.

(Note: It’s best if you contact us as early as possible.)

Our VAT Resources

We provide great value because:

  • You’ll receive tax advice – for your specific needs.
  • We employ an in-house Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA), qualified by the Chartered Institute of Taxation. (CTA is the UK’s highest tax qualification.) He helps our clients reduce their taxes and risks by providing the highest quality advice for businesses and high-net-worth individuals.
  • Many of our tax staff have previously worked for HMRC, so we know how to work effectively with them on your behalf. 
  • We’re a mid-sized firm (70 staff) – we have the resources you need – and are small enough to care.

Case Study: Holiday Lets

The Problem

Our client had built up a substantial sideline in holiday lets, which his customers booked through his own personal service company.

HMRC told him VAT needed to be charged on the turnover – which would have closed his business.

How We Helped

We reviewed the position and advised that the business was not subject to VAT by virtue of how it provided holidays to its customers.

The Result

HMRC accepted VAT did not need to be paid and as a result, our client continues to trade.
