Our expertise covers essential local regulations, including Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT), Additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS), and proactive guidance for Making Tax Digital (MTD) readiness.

Whether your property is a side income or a core investment, we tailor our approach to your circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a specialist property accountant, or is a general accountant enough?

Property tax in Scotland has its own strict, frequently changing regulations—such as restrictions on mortgage interest relief and specific capital gains rules. A specialist property accountant ensures you are claiming every allowable expense, utilizing the most tax-efficient structure (like a Limited Company vs. personal ownership), and avoiding costly HMRC penalties.

What expenses can I claim as a Scottish landlord?

You can claim “wholly and exclusively” incurred expenses for running your rental property. This includes property maintenance, letting agent fees, landlord insurance, accountant fees, and statutory costs. It does not include capital improvements, which are instead used to offset Capital Gains Tax when you eventually sell the property.

How do LBTT and ADS affect my property investments?

Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) is Scotland’s version of stamp duty. If you are buying an additional residential property (like a buy-to-let), you are usually subject to the Additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS). We help you factor these significant upfront costs into your portfolio planning to ensure your yields remain profitable.
