Limited Company buying a property abroad

Surely the OP is a sockie? I cant believe someone who's been contracting for a few years and has such capital in their company thinks they could just buy a property (and abroad at that) for their own holidays.
I mean just re read that first post again. Come on!

There is no such rule...
Originally posted by The Tester View PostThanks again for the responses, so let me turn this around then. Can my IT company purchase the property abroad purely as a business venture, i.e. to rent out to the general public so not deemed as personal use? Or would an IT company NOT be allowed to invest in a non IT related venture?

Limited Company buying a property abroad
Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostIt doesn't say that at all.
It says that if the property is ONLY available to the director and their family then the director would be charged a BIK for the whole year's use. If it isn't, then Extra Statutory Concession A91 can be applied for so a BIK for the time used would apply.
For the BIK calculation, it appears that yes, if the property is only available to the director and family then BIK is charged for a full year.
ESC A91 only applies if the property is made available to other employees. Given that a PSC generally only has a director and possibly his/her spouse as employees, then it could be argued that A91 would not apply for BIK relief as the property already falls under the first head of BIK (only director and family).
What's not clear is how and whether the provision of the property at cheap rates to non-family members and non-employees impacts the calculation of BIK. I would suggest that the BIK calculation stands on it's own merits of the provision of property to directors/employees and is separate to whether the property is also provided to friends, and therefore is chargeable in full.
For Corp Tax HMRC could deem the cheap or free rent to friends to be uncommercial and restrict any expenses claimed against the property as those expenses would not be incurred wholly and exclusively in rental business.

Originally posted by meridian View PostDid you read the thread? As long as it's made available to the Director once in the year then there is a BIK for the full year. Add on top of that any requirements to disclose related party transactions, and all of a sudden you're liable for tax on income that you never received from your family.

Obviously all rentals would go through the company & any final sale of the property again would be the companies. However, the company would set the rental price accordingly & could always offer 'late deals' to anybody who would like to stay there.

You could use an SPV to hold the property in. It's a complex and technical process but it is possible and involves creating a special share class in your trading company which the new spv would take up and then a divi could be declared to extract the funds without higher rate tax consequences. There needs to be a commercial reason for doing this otherwise HMRC might try to hammer you under GAAR. It's probably risky and might not even be feasible but it might be something you'd want to explore with your accountant. Usual caveats apply.
