BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
- A SIPP can borrow up to 50% of the net fund value to purchase a property.
- Additional tax advantages may arise when a client sells their business premises to their SIPP and leases it back to their firm. For example rent paid to a client’s SIPP is a deductible business expense and could therefore reduce the income or corporation tax liability to their business.
- Any growth in the property value, when held in a SIPP, is free from Capital Gains Tax.
- The rental income received by the SIPP is also tax free.
- If the SIPP purchases a property owned by the client’s company, this can release cash back into their business.
- Insolvency – the SIPP is generally outside reach of trustee in bankruptcy.
- The SIPP is generally outside of clients’ estates for inheritance tax purposes.
