How can we transfer our buy-to-lets into a limited company?

Q. We would like to transfer our commercial properties from personal ownership to a limited company and are wondering if we would have to pay capital gains tax or stamp duty? Name and address supplied
Ordinarily, transferring a commercial property that is owned personally to a limited company may have capital gains tax (CGT) and stamp duty implications.
If you can demonstrate to HM Revenue & Customs that your property activities represent a business, rather than just an investment, then you may be able to benefit from incorporation relief. This broadly involves transferring the property business to a company in exchange for the issue of shares. If incorporation relief applies, any capital gain that arises may potentially be deferred in full.
It is not possible

Telecoms boss lands record £131m payday

The boss of a little-known UK telecoms business was handed a record £131m last year, marking the highest-ever package paid by a London-listed business. Eamonn O'Hare, who runs Zegona Communications, received a £129m bonus in 2024, on top of £2m in annual pay and benefits. The company's operations chief, Robert Samuelson, also took home a total package of £66m. By contrast, the average remuneration for an FTSE 100 chief executive last year was £4.2m. The lucrative pay awards were made after Zegona acquired Vodafone's Spanish arm for £4.4bn last year. Mr O'Hare and Mr Samuelson, both former Virgin Media executives, launched Zegona a decade ago to buy up struggling assets in the telecoms sector and turn them around. Zegona went public in 2015 with a float on London's AIM junior exchange, when it raised £30m. However, its value has since soared after undertaking a series of deals, buying up unloved assets and selling them on for profit.

Liverpool agree £65m deal to sell Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich after forward requested to leave and was dropped for pre-season

Liverpool have agreed to sell Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich in a £65million deal. Mail Sport understands the forward first requested to leave the club last summer and he will fly out from Tokyo in the next 24 hours to join up with his new team-mates. Colombian international Diaz has been a long-term target for the Bundesliga champions despite them seeing an initial bid worth £58.5m rebuffed. Negotiations resumed in recent days and a second official approach has now been accepted. Diaz, who arrived at Anfield for an initial £37m fee in January 2022, was dropped for the Reds' squad to play AC Milan in their latest pre-season friendly. Boss Arne Slot admitted his absence from the 4-2 defeat was directly linked to his uncertain future, saying: 'In Lucho's situation it was, yeah. 'There are a lot of rumours around it lately and I cannot go into that. But he is training really well with us and we have decided, for now, not to play him yet. More to follow.

Bank a tidy profit by swerving the Big Four: Our shares guru's expert advice on the smaller fish financial firms to invest in - including one that's up 80% since she first tipped it two years ago

Banks are a bit of a hobby horse for me. My first job in journalism involved international banking and finance; I was a banking correspondent for years, and I've maintained a keen interest in the industry ever since. It's been a bumpy ride, particularly for the so-called Big Four – Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and NatWest. Pummelled by the Global Financial Crisis, prodded and poked by online start-ups and squeezed by years of low interest rates, mainstream lenders disappointed investors for years.
