40 minutes Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'm thinking of moving in to buy to let, and have been told that it may be more tax efficient to do it all within a company, and pay myself dividend income from that company. Anyone got any experience of doing this? Currently I'm a higher rate taxpayer, although I don't expect to be in 2010/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortitia Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 We've had this one recently - last 6 months - so look back in the replies from our tax expert Plym 77. I think the answer was no it isn't unless you are going to buy a large portfolio suddenly and you already have a lot of investements.

Rental Lease Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 It's worth noting that many real estate investors set up companies to hold real estate in for liability reasons, not tax reasons. For example, I actually pay a lot more in accounting fees, entity maintenance fees, taxes, etc to own my rental properties under LLC names, but (theoretically) I'm less vulnerable if a tenant decides she doesn't like the terms of my rental agreement and sues me. Just thought it'd be worth mentioning, I'm not advocating either way. Best of luck with your new rental investments, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
