Construction & Property Investors
Specialist Accountants for Construction Firms & Property Investors
Construction and property is one of the most heavily policed corners of the tax system: CIS, the VAT reverse charge, SDLT, ATED. And the penalties for getting it wrong are real. Most accountants treat it as ordinary work. We treat it as the specialism it is.
The Construction and Property Tax Traps Most Accountants Miss
- CIS compliance for contractors and subcontractors: verification, monthly returns and gross payment status.
- The VAT domestic reverse charge on construction services.
- Structuring property deals and SPVs tax-efficiently.
- SDLT, capital allowances and ATED on residential property.
- Cash flow across long project and development cycles.
