ATED (annual tax on enveloped dwellings) was announced by the Government as an anti-avoidance tax measure. It aims to discourage people from holding high-value residential property through corporate wrappers – known as ‘Non Natural Persons’ (NNPs) – for the purpose of saving tax.
‘Enveloped dwellings’ subject to the ATED regime must be owned by a NNP, be located in the country and include all or part of a residential or a mixed use property in use as a ‘dwelling’ or ‘capable of being a dwelling’. This extends beyond the building to the gardens, grounds, and any buildings within them. There are exemptions and reliefs available for certain types of property.
You pay less tax if you own a property under ATED regulations, but a balance needs to be struck between the tax and other benefits of owning the property as a NNP and owning it directly.
We have tax specialists who will advise you on the best property ownership structure to meet your business and personal financial goals.
