Property financial management made easy

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) can be a tricky terrain, often complex and misunderstood. Don’t worry, we’re on hand to help you understand the intricacies of SDLT for your specific transactions and explore opportunities to minimise the charge.

Ever wondered if you’ve paid too much SDLT? We’re here to give a second look and guide you through the reclaim process if needed. And if you’re in the midst of open enquiries with HMRC, we can help you navigate those conversations with confidence and clarity.

Selling a property

When it comes to selling a buy-to-let property or second home, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is often a concern. We’ll provide tailored strategies to help reduce your tax liability, calculate what’s owed, and ensure your tax return is filed accurately. With Simon & Co, you can handle property sales with clarity and ease.

Rental properties

Renting out a property? We know the ins and outs of income tax and are here to ensure you’re not leaving money on the table. At Simon & Co, our property accountants help landlords like you understand the fine balance between your rental income and deductible expenses.

We’ll walk you through the maze of maintenance and repair deductions, ensuring you choose the right method tailored to your specific circumstances. Our goal is to optimise your tax position while catering to your unique needs. Navigating finance costs for loans or mortgages on your properties can be complex, but we’re here to simplify it, ensuring you claim every bit of tax relief you’re entitled to.

Tax advice for property developers

Tax complexities shouldn’t be a hurdle for property developers. At Simon & Co, we simplify SDLT planning connected to site acquisitions and provide clear insights on the Construction Industry Scheme, including distinctions between employed and self-employed statuses.

For VAT, we clarify the implications of zero-rated developments and ‘exempt’ supplies, ensuring you’re well-equipped to make informed decisions. Unforeseen changes, like opting to let a property that’s hard to sell, can influence your VAT standing. We’re here to offer tailored advice, ensuring your projects are both profitable and compliant, without the jargon and complexity.
