Frequently asked questions

Is my activity investment or trading?
Flips and developments are usually treated as trading (stock), not investment. That means profits are taxed as trading income in the company. We’ll review your pattern of activity and advise.
Can you help with CIS registration and returns?
Yes, we can help you understand if CIS applies and assist with registration and returns as an add-on service.
How do you handle part-complete projects at year end?
We’ll agree a sensible work-in-progress / stock valuation based on costs incurred and stage of completion, so profits are not distorted.
