I'm considering incorporating my existing portfolio of three buy-to-let properties. What are the capital gains tax (CGT) and stamp duty land tax (SDLT) implications of transferring these properties into a limited company, and are there reliefs I can claim?
Quick Answer
Transferring properties to a company incurs CGT and SDLT. CGT applies to personal gains, while SDLT is payable by the company, including a 5% surcharge. Incorporation Relief can reduce CGT if specific criteria are met.
