Acquisition and Tax Structuring

Acquiring real estate through private ownership or a corporate structure has significant tax implications.

We analyse real estate transfer tax, VAT, financing structures and the long-term impact on income and corporate taxation.

For larger portfolios, we advise on suitable holding structures to optimise taxation, limit liability and plan succession.

Rental Income

Ongoing rental income offers various opportunities for tax optimisation.

We review deductible expenses, depreciation options — including accelerated and heritage-related depreciation — and structuring options in connection with refurbishment measures.

Sale and Holding Periods

Tax considerations play a key role in any planned sale.

We assess holding periods, the risk of commercial real estate trading and the tax treatment of capital gains in both private and corporate structures.
