Commercial Property
A Legacy For Future Generations
Commercial Property
Using your SSAS or SIPP to invest in commercial property is a popular choice for business owners and individuals.
Suitable purchases include (but are not limited to) offices, industrial units, shops, warehouses and land. Residential property is not suitable for a pension scheme.
There are several advantages to using your pension scheme to invest in property:
-
TAX SAVINGS
-
No income tax on rents.
-
No capital gains tax on sales.
-
No inheritance tax.
-
-
FLEXIBILITY
-
Purchase property you own privately, thereby raising funds for you or your business whilst retaining control of the property through your pension scheme.
-
Purchase property from a third party or at auction.
-
-
SECURITY
-
If you purchase your business premises, you pay rent to your pension scheme, thereby funding your own retirement!
-
Property held in your pension scheme is protected from creditors in the event of insolvency.
-
-
BORROWINGS
-
Your pension scheme can raise borrowings from any party (whether a bank, your business or you personally) to assist with funding investment in commercial property, subject to regulatory limits.
-
-
VAT
-
Your pension scheme can register for VAT.
-
We recommend you seek independent financial advice to decide if using your pension scheme to purchase commercial property is suitable for you.
