Incorporation and Tax Implications! A bit to know

Under basic principles, SDLT is payable on the market value of the properties transferred to the company (s53 FA 2003)
The SDLT payable will be calculated by reference to the residential rates of SDLT (where relevant) plus the 3% surcharge thereon
A 15% SDLT rate, ATED and ATED CGT will be applicable on any of the properties transferred worth in excess of £500,000 which is inhabited or intended to be inhabited by an individual connected to the company or its shareholders
In some scenarios, where a property partnership is incorporating, Part 3 Schedule 15 FA 2003 exempts the transfer from SDLT. The rules are extremely complex and careful consideration is required. 

Bank or lender consent would be required prior to transferring the properties into the company and the cost of financing may increase once the company becomes the borrower
Take impartial advice
Where more than six properties are transferred, the transaction may be taxed at the commercial rates of SDLT and this can represent a large saving
The decision to incorporate a property rental business is not one to be taken lightly – legal, commercial, taxation, administrative and refinancing issues need to be carefully considered
There are also anti-avoidance provisions to stop the abuse of this exemption.
If the properties transferred are commercial properties, VAT and Capital Allowances may need to be considered
