Shaz talks about the many tax benefits and disadvantages offered when conducting business through either an investment business and a trading business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• An investment business is where you buy an asset and rent it out or get some form of income from it. Buy to let is investment, whereas commercial conversion is trading.
• Deal packaging comes under a trading business, and so is serviced accommodation. The government does not incentivise people to become investors, and so the tax benefits do not work in your favour.
