Paying for a GREAT accountant/tax adviser is ESSENTIAL! 🔥

[@johntrubridge8885]

Thanks really helpful and yes to a part 2 looking at VAT and the most tax efficient way to pay yourself with salary and dividends

[@martyncoates6035]

Can you do one on how to best transfer from personal ownership to limited company or better still a trust which owns a company

[@nicolengyuen]

Thanks very much for sharing all that insight! Really helpful! Definitely would like a part 2!

[@MJeha]

For full transparency guys - this is NOT Samuel's accountant, Gorilla Accountants are a preferred/sponsored team of accountants for Samuel's mentees - friendly and useful team but I don't see the need to mislead people with "My Accountant" when it's not the case. Great content as always though...

[@ginabarkley2076]

Typical Samuel misleading for profit

[@llunamoon]

Thank you for this

[@Nonegiven14582]

That's what I said elsewhere. Happens on Dragons Den with idiots looking for investment in ideas. When people are charging for information. All they can actually do is send you to someone who actually does the work for real.

[@Holdeenio]

Worth considering “incorporation relief” (see property118) if considering holding rental properties in your personal name long term. This will wipe out both capital gains liability and stamp duty if you qualify.

[@RussellLeeds]

Yes top tip that.

[@Oi-wz2dq]

The SDLT relief applies to partnership to LLP conversions only

[@Holdeenio]

@@Oi-wz2dq Correct, and the following step in incorporating is LLP into LTD Co. Where it would not be chargeable again. This commonly happens 2 years after LLP.

[@Oi-wz2dq]

@@Holdeenio and face a market value charge on doing so… notwithstanding the entire scheme would fall within s75A as an avoidance arrangement if the intent from the initial transfer to the LLP is to eventually transfer to the ltd Co at a later date

[@Holdeenio]

@@Oi-wz2dq search for property118, they’re whole managed service provides a levitate route for professional landlords (not side investors) to go from owning property personally to within a limited company, using incorporation relief for its intended purpose. The government want landlords to operate as a business - there’s honestly nothing remotely dodgy about this and whitewashing potential capital gains liabilities and not reincurring SDLT makes it even more worthwhile for portfolio landlords. If you can establish a smart company structure with growth and freezer shares at the same time, there’s an IHT benefit too.

Don't forget to pay business rates on that part of your house you are using as a business office Samuel!

[@nicmac6930]

Thanks Samuel. Im calling them tomorrow to discuss my capital gains 👍

[@talmanyurkovich4486]

One thing that they didn’t mention is that you can have multiple owners who each can make £8k before capital gains is due. So if you trust your mum, dad, spouse etc you could make them joint owners on your property (on paper) and make £32,000 on your property value before you have to pay CGTax when you sell.

[@vanessakellow2957]

Thanks for video. Surely refinancing only incurs further tax on S 24?

[@marissakeynes2532]

Someone else was advising to take out a mortgage on ur own home and pay off ur BTL. Reason being better mortgage products available. A thought if ur lucky enough to be able to do that.

Just need to learn to do the dance to all the Black Lace music and you can even steal Sameuls old act at holiday camps?

[@nickd1638]

can someone please help me with this, i'm new to this: If you buy a buy-to-let property via a ltd company and buy furniture and for it for let's say £3K and your buy-to-let makes you £6K after all expenses and mortgage, over the 1st year. Will you then deduct the £3K of furniture, so that you are only taxed 19% on £3K rather than £6K? ( £570 vs £1,140 in taxes) Or did I misunderstand?

[@MatthewConlon.]

Samuel, would you ever be open to the idea of doing a nothing to financial freedom challenge in Australia?

[@adejuwonodugbesi3102]

Not an issue if you have a Holding company that feeds into the other mini companies(properties) you can move shares around that way, Speak to your accountant (Not Financial Advise).

[@siletamus2016]

When I buy a new Btl property can I deduct the cost of buying it such as legal fees and stamp duty?

[@prodriveress]

I have been advised that as a 20% tax payer, although i cannot claim tax relief on the mortgage, as long as the property profit is under 30k per year that I get tax relief on my property profits, but once I become a 40% tax payer, I lose this benefit. Are you able to explain what this is and how it works?

[@gedb6099]

Do you mean if you sell the property? Look into Capital gains allowances but it’s 12,300 per year or double that for a married couple. If renting the property you will pay tax, you just have to weigh u if it’s worth owned via a limited company or in your own name, as a standard rate tax payer it doesn’t make much difference after corporation tax and dividend tax but can easier to pass on to children down the line

[@oatzman213]

Question. Should I move my residential flat into a company? It is now worth £120k, which is £24k more than what I paid. I am looking to purchase another residential, and rent out my flat in a few years. With the stamp duty cut, it looks attractive to make the move now. Do you think it is worth it? I am looking to purchase more BTL's in the future. Thank you :-D

[@nunesandrew4198]

contact and accountant its worth to spend £500-750 and consult a few than walking in the dark.

[@MarkLikesCoffee860]

You cant "move" a property into a company. You would have to "sell" the property to the company which would incur about £2,500 in solicitors fees + 3% stamp duty on the sale so if the property is worth £144k then £4,320 stamp duty + £2,500 so £6,820. That's throwing money away.

is the training costs of a commercial property course tax deductible when I only have residential btl's currently?

[@fernwatson]

Appreciate this. Thanks

[@video128]

What if you go on a property course as a newbie and have not company set up. How can you claim if you planning to start as an individual ( self-employed) and do you rent2rent on the next 5 months? Within what time frame can you claim training course expense?

[@marissakeynes2532]

In the same tax year u incurred the expense.

[@wojciechfilaber2931]

Gorilla is awesome and Samuel as well!

[@Nonegiven14582]

Just go see an accountant firm? Mine is about £400 a year after VAT. Fill in a few forms and they do the rest on a return. They usually give free basic advice. Same with solicitors. I have had a ton of work for £500 in the past from a conveyancer. And you know they'll read word of contract/lease.

When does it Become affordable to have an accountant?

[@MFG2738]

From day 1 pal. The tax you save means its free, either you pay hmrc a bigger tax bill or you pay your accountant. So you are then free to work on money generating activities in your business, such as sourcing deals. I started my business with nothing but some savings from working a minimum wage job and had a chartered account from day one. Its a no brainer

I have letting agents manage the properties, but I want to self manage the properties and be self efficient and save on fees. I would like to know in particular how viewing can be done and property maintenance issue, if a Landlord is living a distance away. Maybe you can do a video only on self managing. Thanks

When creating a director's loan to the company from your personal finances, can you charge going rate interest?

[@Darrenoma]

Will be a business expense / corporate tax deductible + personal income for the individual. Additional disclosures in your accounts will be required. If the loan is at 0% there will be a tax consequence for the individual over a certain loan amount. If to get income it might be more efficient to take at dividends or salary.

[@alexdavis8743]

Training to enhance your skills would NOT be income tax deductible, as enhancing implies you have learnt something. If you went on a refresher course, then that would be income tax deductible, as you have not had any improvements. Secondly, travel costs are only deductible if you only traveled there for the purpose of the property and nothing else.

I think very rich people should pay high tax - it goes to public services so if you want low crime which business people often do and people to be able to pay rent then it pays to have a good education, policing and health system.

How do you tax the rich? Doubt most even have assets in the country, good luck with that.

It is worth nothing that tax relief is restricted on mortgage interest at the price you paid for a property. Eg you paid £100k 10 years ago, but refinance it for £150k now. You can only claim tax relief on the first £100k
