Corporate Landlords
Newsletter issue – December 2022
When a residential property is held through a company (or another non-natural person eg a trust) this potentially creates a liability to the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED). This annual charge applies if the property is worth over £500,000.
There are several exemptions and reliefs for ATED, but those reliefs must be claimed each year for each property that falls within the ATED regime.
The property must be valued on acquisition to determine whether it is worth over £500,000. But it must also be revalued every five years after the acquisition, with the valuation undertaken on 1 April in 2012, 2017, 2022, 2027, etc.
The new valuation takes effect for the ATED reporting year starting on the following 1 April. Thus, the ATED return and payment for 2023/24 are based on the open market value of the property as assessed on 1 April 2022.
HMRC is writing to taxpayers who are currently paying ATED, to remind them to revalue their properties on 1 April 2022 using an open-market value.
This could result in the property moving up a valuation band for 2023/24, say from the £500,000 to £1m band, into the £1m to £2m band. Moving up a band will at least double the amount of ATED due.
Another trap for corporate landlords occurs is when the property becomes subject to ATED for the first time because the property value has exceeded £500,000. An ATED return or an ATED relief return must be submitted by 30 April within the year, so by 30 April 2023 for the year 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.
Failure to submit an ATED return on time will result in automatic late filing penalties. Also, failure to pay the right amount of ATED charge on time will generate a late payment penalty and an interest charge.
What our clients say about us...
"Paul has provided accountancy services to my company for 2 years now. I can recommend Paul very highly; his skills as an accountant are highly detailed and professional and he is always available to provide advice. One aspect of the way Paul works that I greatly appreciate is a preference to meet face to face when there is a detailed conversation to be had. I personally find this more productive and is a benefit of working with a small accountancy firm that you wouldn't get with the large faceless providers."

"Paul was a referral from a family member when I started my business 2 years ago. As this was the first time I had ever run my own company I was totally clueless over the financial side of matters and was worried that I may have made mistakes in any of my accounting. I needn't have worried as after enaging Paul for a set monthly fee he was always there on the end of the phone for all sorts of questions I had and no matter how trivial they were Paul gave me all the information I required and more and did an excellent and painless job at the end of my first year! Couldn't ask for any better to be honest. Just two words - hire him!!!"
