Tax on Selling Property.

Postby ash32 on Sun Oct 09, 2005 12:15 pm

I'm considering setting up a business to buy houses cheap and selling them on at their true market value.
Will I have to pay CGT on any profits I make when selling a house (ie buy house for 75K sell for 100K, will the 25K profit be subject to CGT), or if I operate as a Ltd, will I just have to pay Coperate tax?

You are likely to be classed as a property developer and be subject to Income Tax (or Corporation Tax, if a limited company) rather than CGT.

I recommned you seek professional advice on whether a limited company or sole trader/partnership is best suited for your business needs.
