FREE DOWNLOAD: Offshore Companies Holding UK Property From 2013

Buying UK property via an offshore company has traditionally been attractive for a number of reasons.

These include:

• A CGT exemption on disposal
• An Inheritance Tax exemption for non UK domiciliaries
• To preserve privacy
• To avoid the need for UK probate
• SDLT savings on the onward disposal

There are however a number of changes to the tax treatment of companies owning UK residential property from April 2013 where the property value exceeds £2 Million.

In this book we look in detail at precisely how offshore companies owning UK property are taxed both before and after April 2013.

We look at the UK tax planning implications of using offshore companies for UK holding UK property and assess to what extent this is still a worthwhile tax planning strategy for properties both above and below the new £2 Million threshold.

This book takes account of the significant changes to the proposals announced in January 2013. It includes detailed analysis of the new "Annual Residential Property Tax" as well as the CGT charge for companies.
