No CGT as I lived in the property for a fair amount of time myself. Thanks, SDLT paid. Now in a Ltd company. Thanks for all advice.

This is not a transfer but a sale and purchase , On a personal basis there is the issue of CGT and for the Ltd co it is unfortunately a case where SDLT becomes payable . .

I assume you have good reasons for transfer to a ltd company that far outweigh other issues? have you considered establishing a partnership and THEN moving to a ltd company? the reason I ask is because I am also considering it and will be booking an appointment with a recommended advisor in the near future.
my reasons are purely to plan for inheritance tax (though we all know rules change as time progresses) and potentially reduced personal liability

As far as I know the accountant is right. This is a sale to a separate party (the company) of the whole. It is NOT a gift of the whole to the company (as in a gift to another party) in which case the solicitor advice would apply. A gift without a mortgage to a person would have no SDLT. I doubt you can gift to a company (which would defeat the whole point of the exercise even if you could?).
But more importantly, you have considered the CGT implications --- I hope...... SDLT may pale into insignificance.

Thank you, solicitors just confirmed its market value... damm. Never mind. Although I budgeted the SDLT anyway. Thank you again.

Whichever you go with, make sure they both have adequate professional indemnity insurance in place.
Market value. (s53 Finance Act 2003)

Transfer to Ltd Company & SDLT
Afternoon All,
After much help from reading this forum I finally have question.
I am just in the process of completing the transfer of my BTL into a ltd company.
My solicitor has settled my personal mortgage and then taken out the new mortgage in the name of the Ltd Company. However I have received conflicting advice from the solicitor and my accountant.
Solicitor is saying SDLT transfer value should equate to the value of the mortgage which has been redeemed. (in this case a value below SDLT threshold) And therefore pay no SDLT
Accountant is saying SDLT transfer value should equate to market value of the property.
Where I'm happy to avoid paying SDLT, I have budget the (rather large) amount, but Im concerned with a knock on the door from Mr HMRC at some point.
So, who is right... Solicitor or Accountant?
Thanks

by CelibinMy total rental income only £4300 but there are some £2600 allowable expenses due to void period and agents fees.
How is this calculated to reach the final figure? Is 20% or something allowed of it?-

by jpkeatesYou deduct the allowable expenses from the income (ignoring any interest paid on a BTL mortgage - and any other fees relating to a mortgage).
You add that to any taxable income you have and calculate the tax due based on your total taxable income.
The you deduct any tax paid through PAYE...-

by nick_noalHi all,
My 65 yr old father owns a three bedroom terraced property and would like to give this to me and my two brothers now as early inheritance rather than the traditional time of his (hopefully distant) passing.
Would anyone be able to advise the most tax efficient method...-

by jpkeatesIf there's a mortgage on the property, things become more complicated.
What's being gifted is the equity in the property, as the mortgage is a liability which the sons will (almost certainly) be acquiring.
I cannot imagine that the mortgage lender will allow the transfer without the...-

by AndrewDodThere is no SDLT on gifts (unless there is a mortgage associated in which case there is a calculation to be done). OP there are few placed in the UK that have seen no price rise in the past 5 years. You are going to need a professional surveyor to value the property, and this may well be queried further...

by nick_noalYes we would all plan on keeping the property let on an AST basis to the same tenant.
I should have mentioned in my original post that the property is indeed mortgaged (apologies) and so this will bring extra complications. I would assume the only way to fully change the legal ownership...-
