I'm considering transferring a jointly owned buy-to-let property into a limited company. What are the Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) implications and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) considerations I need to be aware of for this specific scenario?
Quick Answer
Transferring a jointly owned BTL property to a limited company triggers both Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) and Capital Gains Tax (CGT). SDLT will include the 5% additional dwelling surcharge, and CGT applies to the deemed disposal at market value.
