Architects and Planners
Those project teams who have timely, robust and high-quality advice on property tax matters stand to benefit in terms of risk, cost and financial returns.
An early decision about tax liability can generate substantial savings and may even kickstart projects that are currently stalled and awaiting approval for funds, once the tax impacts are factored into the project’s affordability.
In particular, incorporating property tax advice into the design phase should increase the overall qualifying expenditure, but also shifting the blend of expenditure to allowances that may yield tax relief over a shorter period - and so significantly boosting cash flow benefits to the project. Equally, timely advice can avert costly errors and unnecessary expense, particularly with Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) where it is essential these matters are properly resolved BEFORE works commence on site (including demolition).
Work with the specialists
Architects and planners can benefit best by working collaboratively with specialists who have the appropriate expertise for the required task in hand. At E3 Consulting we have detailed working knowledge of current property tax legislation, CIL Regulations, impact of precedent case law and both HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Valuation Office Agency (VOA) interpretations and many years of experience dealing with HMRC, VOA, District Valuers and Regional Building Surveyors. We combine legal, financial and detailed property analysis to ensure robust quality advice is consistently delivered, all claims/projects are properly optimised and risks managed to reduce anxiety and unnecessary costs that too often can result from seemingly innocent actions or inactions.
