Residential property has long been a popular asset among British expats however in recent years, the UK tax authorities have made many significant changes to the taxation on both the sale and purchase of UK property, especially when owned by non-residents.

For those who currently own or are looking to buy or sell UK property, it is well worth getting an idea of the tax implications involved and the recent changes. This session will cover the key tax considerations including:

  • The tax implications of selling UK property
  • Recent changes to the rules and their impact
  • Tax planning tips and ideas relating to buying, owning and selling UK property

Places are limited and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
