Spread the risk by diversifying your property portfolio and models. Before entering a joint venture (JV) speak to tax specialists e.g., someone to help you with VAT and company tax. Don´t rely on what you read online or in books. You need someone to step you through the different options. The tax and company structure you choose is likely to evolve as your life situation changes. Look at talking to a tax specialist and gaining an understanding of the options as an investment in yourself and your future. Fixing tax structure mistakes is typically extremely expensive. Even if you have a good advisor, take the time to educate yourself about tax. That will prompt you to ask questions and discuss things that would otherwise not be discussed. Set up regular reviews with your tax advisor. This makes sure that as your goals evolve so does their advice, when necessary. A good tax accountant will help you to work out the tax cost pros and cons of individual deals. Any commercial property deal opens up the chance to claim capital allowances. In the podcast, Shaz shares numerous examples of how to save tax in many many different scenarios. Employ different specialists for the different property strategies you use.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Have a holistic strategy where you´ve got your risk diversified.’ ‘Get clarity from day one, go to a specialist property tax accountant.’ ‘Always start with the exit in mind.’ ‘There is a lot of opportunity in SDLT.’   EPISODE RESOURCES ◉ Tax Advice News Letter - https://bit.ly/TaxWiseNewsLetter ◉ Join my Property Facebook Group here - https://bit.ly/ShazTaxFBGroup ◉ Subscribe Now: https://bit.ly/ShazNawazSubscribe ---- ◉ Amazon Book Links: https://bit.ly/ShazNawazBooks ---- ◉ My Website: http://www.shaznawaz.co.uk ◉ My Property Tax Website: http://www.entrustpropertytax.co.uk ◉ My Accountancy Website: http://www.aa-accountants.co.uk ◉ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shaz_nawaz_1/ ◉ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheProfitsWi... ◉ Linkedin: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/shaznawaz     ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.
