I’m a UK-based landlord seeking advice from a qualified accountant regarding the tax treatment and optimal structuring of a property I personally own.
I am about to grant a commercial lease to a childcare company (5-year term with an option to renew for a further 5 years).
I would appreciate guidance on:
- Whether it is preferable to retain the property in my personal name or consider a company structure
- The tax treatment of rental income under different ownership structures
- The practical implications of involving a company in the lease structure while retaining personal ownership, including whether arrangements such as peppercorn rent have any relevance from a tax or compliance perspective
- The appropriate approach to structuring, reporting, and accounting for rental income going forward
- Treatment of allowable expenses, particularly in relation to recent renovation work
I’m also open to establishing an ongoing advisory relationship where appropriate.
