A commercial landlord would not want to pay too much tax but conversely the penalties for not paying enough property tax can be severe. There are clear advantages for the commercial landlord in having ready access to software to explore ‘what if’ scenarios. What if property X from the property portfolio were to be sold? What would the tax liability be? How would this compare to a sale of property Y? What would the tax liability be in that scenario? This is information which is fundamental to key decisions in the commercial property sector. Look too for a landlord tax software product that can deal with a variety of ownership scenarios. Is the landlord tax package flexible enough to deal with sole ownership, joint ownership and multiple ownership scenarios? The ideal product should also be able to deal with relief factors which are fundamental to tax planning and these include personal capital gains tax allowances and private residence relief. Remember also that there have been a number of changes announced recently to capital gains tax and you should ensure that the product chosen is up to date and that it includes a post sales technical support service.
