Will You Wait for the Date?
Sam Orgill www.proactpartnership.com 5 Actions to Protect your Overseas Property Investment and make Tax Savings of Expenses, Capital Gains and Inheritance Tax
When you consider relocation the first thing you consider is somewhere to live. The second is to manage your income, whether from pension, investments, business or as a contractor. When you make the move to become an expat you get busy making local registrations for everything from electricity to visas, tax to social club, bank accounts to medical. We understand this.
Experience
ProACT Partnership have developed our experience and skills for Expats Living and working abroad for over 16 years. We have built a deep understanding of how to organise a Family’s overseas property, business and pension assets to make the best tax savings, and to minimise the costs and delay when something goes wrong or the family simply decide to sell up and move on or relocate back home. Will you wait for that date of destiny?
Plan Ahead
What gets missed, in the excitement and enthusiasm of relocating overseas and achieving your dream of Living and Working Aboard, is the exit strategy. Of course the property purchase has to be completed quickly before it is ‘sold to the other buyer’. You can sort the details of finances while on the beach sipping cocktails, right?
EU Brexit for Expats could impact in this areas with forced heirship and taxes invalidating existing arrangements.
Begin With The Exit in Mind
You could. In our experience it is better to prepare with the exit in mind. We have seen our client’s family lose their health through accident, disease or dementia. We have seen relationship break up in family, or between business partners, creating stress and financial loss. It could be that the children or parents back home need you to return, or that a partner dies or is seriously ill.
In every case there is a legal process to go though:
- to secure income to pay for living and medical expense
- to sell or transfer overseas property investment and business assets to family and partners
- to provide the best medical and nursing care after losing good health
Property Tax Savings When Selling or Transferring
When you do come to sell overseas property investments and business there is also a potential tax liability. Capital Gains and Inheritance Tax Savings of up to 45% can be achieved if you have organised your assets in a tax efficient manner. By looking forward, planning ahead you can save thousands in tax when selling overseas property.
