OWNERS OF UK RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY? TAX CHANGES AROUND THE CORNER MAY IMPACT YOU!

If you or your clients have UK residential property, you are probably aware that those properties held in offshore vehicles will be subject to tax changes which take effect from April 2017.
  • Inheritance tax will be introduced to all offshore companies that own UK residential property, including tenanted property.
  • Recently the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (“ATED”) has been expanded to include any property with a value in excess of £500,000. The annual charge can be over £200,000 per annum for high value properties.

Persons holding UK residential property via offshore vehicles, and their advisors, should be looking urgently at their ownership structure though which the property is held and seek expert tax advice.
