Do You Need To Set Up A Business For Your Property Investing?

Simon talks about whether or not you should be thinking about setting up a business for your property investing, and the pros and cons involved in doing so. KEY TAKEAWAYS In April 2017, the government introduced as a new tax legislation known as Section 24. This affects people who own properties in their own name, and taxes the income from property in a different way, generally working out to be more expensive. An investment business is where you buy properties to hold for the long term, the profits of which come from rental income. A trading business is where properties are bought, refurbished and sold on. They rely on short term gains and profits come from each transaction. One of the main benefits of having a company is that all your expenses can be put through the company itself, including phone costs, car costs and training costs.
