I currently own several BTLs personally. What are the capital gains tax and stamp duty implications of transferring my existing properties into a new limited company, and when would this 'incorporation' strategy be worth the upfront costs for portfolio growth?
Quick Answer
Transferring BTLs to a company incurs CGT and SDLT. It's often viable for landlords seeking portfolio growth, tax efficiency, or Section 24 mitigation, particularly with multiple properties.
