Buying property as a personal investment vs limited company

Investing in property development and buy-to-let can be an appealing option for personal investment as it can offer a stable, tangible asset and decent return over time, despite market fluctuations.

Whether it is for earning a secondary income or making a living, treating it as a business and seeking advice from an accountant is crucial for success.

However, if buying property is being considered as a limited company, it is important to seek guidance from experts who are knowledgeable about various acquisition methods and structures.

Your responsibilities as a landlord

As a landlord, whether you are renting out a property individually or as a limited company, you have financial and administrative responsibilities. Failing to fulfil these responsibilities can result in financial penalties and investigations for tax evasion from HMRC.

Hence, it is important to keep track of your obligations, including registering for self-assessment, submitting accounts and tax returns together, and declaring your earnings in an annual tax return.

However, managing your financial responsibilities as a landlord can be quite a challenge, especially with multiple properties to manage and tenants to maintain relationships with.

To help ease this burden, many landlords, and property investors should consider using the services of a specialist property accountant.

How does stamp duty affect buy-to-let properties?

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax that must be paid on property purchases over a certain threshold. If a property is bought for less than this threshold, SDLT does not apply. The current thresholds for SDLT depend on the type of property being purchased.

  • For residential properties, the threshold is £250,000.
  • First-time buyers purchasing a residential property for £625,000 or less have a higher threshold of £425,000.
  • For non-residential land and properties, the threshold is £150,000.

It is worth keeping in mind that tax rates can be revised, and seeking professional advice is always recommended to ensure you fully comprehend your specific tax responsibilities.

How does income tax affect buy-to-let properties?

Landlords are required to pay income tax on rental income and declare it on their annual tax return. Changes to tax relief for landlords mean that they can no longer deduct 100% of mortgage interest and other allowable costs from their gross rental income. Instead, they receive a 20% reduction in tax liability and are required to declare all other expenses in their income and claim back a 20% credit.

This could lead to landlords facing significantly increased costs and potentially being in a higher tax bracket. Seeking professional advice on landlord tax, from an accountant is recommended to understand the impact on their financial position.
