Portsmouth University CPD - Construction and Property Taxation

Alun Oliver gave a CPD session as part of the University of Portsmouth's CPD programme on 20 November 2019 at Hockley Golf Club, Twyford. He gave a short course on "Commercial Property Taxation" including:

• taxation issues in property and construction
• capital allowances, including new structures and buildings
• allowances, new fixtures rules, Enhanced Capital Allowances and £1m Annual Investment Allowances
• land remediation tax relief
• Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
• repairs, maintenance and dilapidations
• professional negligence and dispute resolution

Property professionals require a good understanding of the tax implications on investments and client cash flow. Awareness of these specialist tax areas can add value to your role if you are dealing with these types of issues for your own company, your client’s or interacting with other project participants.

 On this course attendees gained an understanding of the key issues by using detailed case studies that related to the application of some of the key taxes affecting commercial and residential property, as well as changes that happened in the 2019 Autumn Budget.
