About the series:

Using tax reliefs for property development, investment and trading can significantly enhance the bottom line and release valuable cash.  The tax impact on development is often left to the last moment when it can be too late to recover the full benefits.  Forward planning is crucial.

Knowing what you can and cannot recover is important.  Change is perpetual.  Keeping abreast of new opportunities is vital.  Now, more than ever, there are issues that must be addressed without delay, including:

• Tax savings on current and future expenditure.  Historic expenditure should also be reviewed.
• Capital Allowances including the Structures and Buildings Allowances that incentivise investors and developers.  Hear what qualifies and what savings can be made?
• Regeneration of brownfield sites for Land Remediation Relief.
• VAT and mitigation of input tax – including the new domestic reverse charge and the impact on the supply chain.
• Research and Development in the construction sector.
• Recent changes in legislation and predictions of future policy.

An essential briefing for property developers, construction teams, surveyors, investors, planners, advisors and consultants to the sector.
