Case Study

A property development business, which was run as a partnership, had the opportunity to purchase land with planning permission for 25 building plots. At a meeting held with the partners, Ellis & Co examined the building scheme, forecast the profit over the development period of three years and calculated the expected tax liability. We then considered how the tax burden could be reduced.

A limited company was then set up to undertake the development. The partners were appointed directors and shareholders in the limited company. The 25 properties were built and sold, corporation tax was paid on the development’s profit and the remaining profits were returned to the shareholders who claimed  entrepreneurs’ relief upon closing the company. The tax saving that Ellis & Co helped bring about was considerable.
