Course Details

Ever since George Osborne’s so-called ‘Emergency Budget’ in 2015, successive Governments have been hammering landlords, seeing them as a way to raise tax by the back door without losing too many votes. For some, the forthcoming increase in tax rates on property income from April 2027 is the last straw. Many are looking to a company as the answer to their woes. But is a property company really the panacea many believe it to be? In this session, we find out. Plus, for those who have already gone down the company route, we will look at how to minimise the tax burden they face.

 

Carl Bayley covers the following topics during this course:


• How property companies will measure up against individual landlords from April 2027, potentially yielding substantial tax savings on annual profits 

• The impact of profit extraction: how this can often tip the balance

• Strategies to improve annual tax savings and restore the favourable balance enjoyed by property company owners

• Transferring an existing property business into a company: the costs arising and how these can sometimes be avoided

• Exit strategies: will the company ultimately pay off in the long run?

Carl Bayley

Carl Bayley is the author of a series of plain English tax guides designed specifically for the layperson and the non-specialist (available from www.taxcafe.co.uk). His particular speciality is his ability to take the weird, complex, inexplicable world of taxation and set it out in the kind of clear, straightforward language taxpayers themselves can understand. Carl takes the same approach when speaking on taxation, a role he frequently undertakes with great enthusiasm, including his highly acclaimed annual ‘Budget Breakfast’ for the ICAEW. He has spoken on taxation on radio and television, including the BBC’s ‘It’s Your Money’ programme and BBC Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine Show. Carl is a past Chairman of the Tax Faculty of the ICAEW and former member of the Institute’s governing Council and Board. Aside from his tax books, Carl is an avid creative writer. His first novel, Trinity of Souls, was published in 2024, with his second, Destiny of Souls, following in March 2025. When he isn’t working, he takes on the equally taxing challenges of hill walking and horse riding: his Munro tally is now 106 and, while he remains a novice rider, his progress is cantering along nicely. Carl lives in the Scottish Borders, where he enjoys spending time with his partner, Linda.
