‘Lifestyle assets’ owned by companies
Back to front page
Recent Government announcements bring under the spotlight the issue of private companies which own so-called ‘life-style’ assets, for example cars, boats and real estate.
The Government is proposing tightening up the ‘deemed dividend’ rules, particularly in circumstances where there is usage of company property for free or at less than arm’s length value.
The proposed changes highlight the need to carefully consider what assets are held by companies, the terms of use by the company’s shareholders, and whether any ‘deemed dividend’ issues may arise.
Frequently any adverse taxation consequences could be avoided by having in place appropriately documented terms of use for any relevant assets. In certain circumstances it might also be necessary to revisit and restructure how particular assets are held.
If you believe your private company may be affected by these measures, we suggest you contact us .
