Hello,
Client has retained profits in a UK trading company and intends to use approximately £250,000 to fund renovation of an overseas residential property that will be let.
I am reviewing the UK tax implications only and considering the most appropriate structure, including:

  • Extraction via dividends and personal ownership
  • Establishing a separate UK Property SPV
  • Funding through an existing trading company
  • Use of shareholder loan vs share capital

I would welcome practical insights on:
  • Corporation tax treatment of overseas rental income
  • Impact on trading status where property activity is introduced
  • Any common structuring considerations or risks under UK tax law
Many thanks.
 
My mind is boggled

You have a client with significant sums of money
You do not have the expertise to deal with this
You resort to an internet forum for advice

By client, do you mean yourself or friends of yourself?

This is way beyond what this forum offers, and no wise accountant would ask such a range of questions to the general public.

Could this be an exam question
