    Property Tax Question

    I would have been taxed on the rental income anyway. What happens to the capital gains was more my question. I took the money while it was on the table but would have been taxed in the end when there was nothing there.

    Property Tax Question

    This is just a question and not an actual circumstance. Lets say I buy 10 rental properties at £50K each. In 5 years time and with a hell of a bit of luck the houses are worth £100k each. I then decide to remortgage the properties on buy to lets at 80% LTV, which gives me a total of £300k. I...

    Rental tax question!

    Yeh, I get where your coming from, but even the banks are not safe anymore. I am only 44 years of age and the usual cycle after a housing price collapse is 18 years then they increase again. Land and property seems solid compared to risking the Cyprus Syndrome! No matter what the prices do, when...

    Create Letting Agency To Reduce Rental Tax?

    It is what I thought. I was just scouting around hoping someone new of a way. It wouldnt feel as bad paying tax if the government used it for prosperity and not to take us to war.

    Create Letting Agency To Reduce Rental Tax?

    Yes I feared they may be rules and I do not want to break any. Everything has to be within the law. I know what you mean about robbing peter to pay paul, but I can offset many more things with the agency than I can with the simple allowable deductions for the rental. With the agency I can...

    You are allowed to film or record someone as long as you are in the film yourself or one of the filmed gives consent. If one willing party is involved then this is within the law. What you are not allowed to do is film others without one of the filmed having given consent. If you are filming...

    Dissapearing Bad Debtor

    Its not entrapment and the quote does not have to be fake. Just to get them in the in the same spot at the same time, working together is enough to prove a case against both as a partnership. My friend is a bailiff and they do this all the time. My mate uses the term "Its hard to chase a cunning...

    Allowable expenses question.

    OK, thanks. It seems the money is lost forever as the property will not be sold in my lifetime. And to top it off my son will be hit over the head with an inheritance tax.
