In this informative episode, he shares an example of one of his own redevelopment projects. When purchasing to redevelop from commercial to residential there are tax allowances available that are game-changers for any investor.

\\n

Shaz takes us through his project explaining in detail the costs and how effective use of tax planning made it a very profitable deal. Listen in to hear how to you can use tax allowances to increase the profit on your investments.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

\\n
    \\n
  • For most commercial conversions 20% profit or more is considered good
  • \\n
  • If you are converting from commercial to residential completing a VAT1614D form and giving it to the vendor will mean you don’t pay VAT on the purchase price.
  • \\n
  • The key benefit that people often miss out on is capital allowances
  • \\n
  • When you are buying a commercial building for conversion to residential always speak to a tax specialist on capital allowances to make sure you put in the right allowances claim
  • \\n
  • You can claim for items such as fire alarms, fire equipment, heating systems and air conditioning systems.
  • \\n
  • If you have to clear hazards such as Japanese knotweed or asbestos you can claim land remediation relief which gives you back 150% in tax relief
  • \\n
  • If tax allowances are structured correctly you can uplift the profit on a project by over a third.
  • \\n
  • Tax allowances can make a huge difference to the profit margin of a deal.
  • \\n
  • Because you can identify most of the tax savings upfront it enables you to pay more for a property if required because you are assured of getting it back.
