Tax relief in UK property is no longer about loopholes; it’s about structural efficiency.
Investors who perform best are not those chasing the highest gross yield, but those optimising net, post-tax returns. Reliefs still exist, but they must be used deliberately.
Key areas investors are leveraging:
- Capital allowances on qualifying fixtures and fittings
- Incorporation strategies to retain profits and offset finance costs
- Loss carry-forward planning to smooth portfolio growth
- Timing of disposals to manage capital gains exposure
What’s changed is enforcement and scrutiny. Reliefs poorly understood or incorrectly applied are now a liability rather than a benefit.
The winning approach is not aggressive tax positioning, but clean, compliant structuring aligned with long-term portfolio intent.
At DXXV, sourcing and structuring go hand in hand. We assess opportunities on what remains after tax, not before it.
