Benefits of Our Limited Company Incorporation Service

Speak to an Adviser
01

Limited Liability Protection

As an individual, property investments in the UK can expose personal assets to significant risk if debts or liabilities are incurred.

However, by incorporating a limited company structure, expats can protect their personal assets from such risks. With a limited company structure, the company becomes a separate legal entity, providing a clear separation between personal and business assets.

This can offer peace of mind and reduce stress associated with managing property investments as an individual.

02

Tax Efficiency

When investing in UK property as an individual, the tax rates can be high and deductions limited. However, incorporating a limited company structure can provide significant tax benefits for expats.

Limited companies are subject to a lower corporation tax rate than individual income tax rates, and deductions such as mortgage interest and management fees can be claimed against profits.

This can significantly increase the overall profitability of property investments and offer more flexibility and financial stability.

03

Easier Management

Managing multiple properties and finances as an individual can be challenging and time-consuming.

However, incorporating a limited company structure can simplify finances and reporting for expats. With a separate legal entity, the limited company structure provides its own bank account and finances, making it easier to track income and expenses, and file tax returns.

This can save time, reduce stress and help expats better manage their UK property investments.

04

Improved Estate Planning

Passing on property investments to heirs can be complicated and expensive, particularly for expats with international assets.

However, by incorporating a limited company structure, expats can ensure smooth inheritance and succession planning.

Shares in a limited company can be transferred to heirs rather than the property itself, which can help to avoid costly probate fees and inheritance taxes.

This can provide peace of mind, ensuring that the value of property investments can be preserved and passed on to future generations.

Property Investment: Individual vs. Limited Company Incorporation

Taxation:

Individuals pay income tax on rental income and capital gains tax on sale of property, with limited ability to deduct expenses.

Taxation:

Limited companies can deduct mortgage interest and other expenses, resulting in significant tax savings. They pay corporation tax on profits, which may be lower than the individual income tax rate.

Liability:

Individuals have unlimited liability, which means their personal assets are at risk in case of lawsuits or debt.

Liability:

Limited liability protects personal assets and limits risk exposure to the company’s assets only.

Estate Planning:

Passing on property to heirs can be complex, with potential inheritance tax liability.

Estate Planning:

Shares in the limited company can be passed on easily, with potential for inheritance tax relief.

Income:

Income is typically taken as rental income or by selling the property.

Income:

Income can be taken in a more tax-efficient manner through dividends. This can result in significant tax savings and greater flexibility in managing when you take income.

Financing:

Limited borrowing capacity and options.

Financing:

Lenders may view a company as more stable and less risky than an individual. Additionally, a limited company may have access to more financing options, such as commercial loans or crowdfunding, which may not be available to individuals.
