Get sound advice from a group of accountants and brokers alike

Specialists expat buy-to-let brokers and accountants up and down the country are urging expat buy-to-let landlords to tread very carefully and seek appropriate advice before jumping into incorporating their property business into a limited company.

The reduction in mortgage interest tax relief and the introduction of stamp duty are two relatively recent initiatives that have resulted in some landlords reassessing their property businesses and deciding to incorporate.

Lenders are predicting there will continue to be a growing trend towards limited company buy-to-let activity this year. But they warn this may not be the best practice for everybody.

Taxation for an expat is a complex issue and landlords should before considering this move seek advice from a tax specialist. This move will ensure that their buy-to-let venture would actually be better off tax-wise, in a limited company.
