Taxes involved in selling a property?

Post by Gutte »

I’d be grateful if anybody could answer this question:

Now that the land transfer registration fee has been reduced to almost nothing (0,01 %), does this mean that there are in reality no longer any considerable “tax costs” involved in selling a company-owned property?

gutte,

the 'property taxes' have been reduced a lot as part of this stimulus package, so yes they are low

but company 'corporation tax' on any profit/gain your house sale made is due, and this can be considerable

it can be less painful depending on the valuation given to your sale value
also the government has increased the 'allowance' that is tax free, as part of this stimulus package

i believe that this stimulus thing is only for 1 year

you're spot on split,
today they charged taxes at the old percentage rates

when queried said new rates (effective from 1st April) would come into effect 'next time' - wtf ?
suggest people take a solicitor with them to ensure getting the new rates

'coming soon' is abooot reet, oche aye da new rates
