Property Transactions

All property transactions have to be considered from the perspective of both the vendor and the purchaser, with a variety of different taxes under consideration.

It is often necessary for the purchaser to understand the reasons why a vendor is proposing to structure a property transaction in a certain way (perhaps to ensure profits are taxed at a lower rate), and in a similar vein, it can be very helpful for a vendor to understand the business of the purchaser, and how this can impact on their preferred structure (such as a VAT-exempt business and identifying how the VAT cost can be minimised).
