Private Residence Relief For Landlords

Posted on March 15, 2017 by - Uncategorised

What is Private Residence Relief?

 You don’t pay Capital Gains Tax when you sell (or ‘dispose of’) your home if all of the following apply: you have one home and you’ve lived in it as your main home for all the time you’ve owned it.

When and How Much?

A great article we would like to share looks at the mechanics of capital gains tax private residence relief, and how residential property landlords may be able to claim relief.

With landlords facing capital gains tax (CGT) rates of 18% and/or 28% on the disposal of residential properties, this article considers the availability of private residence relief on disposals by landlords.

We at 1st Financial Foundations are always looking to update our clients on how to be tax efficient. This is a great article by Alan Pink who offers a helpful list of tax issues to consider when purchasing a property.

But the stress involved with arranging finance, chasing your solicitor, chasing your vendor, and wading through reams of ‘searches’ and so on, shouldn’t deflect your mind from considering the potentially very important tax aspects surrounding acquisition of a property.

So, here’s a check list, which hopefully will get you at least asking the right questions, from a tax planning point of view, when approaching a property purchase.
