Frequently Asked Questions
What is ATED?
ATED is an annual tax payable mainly by companies that own UK residential property valued at more than £500,000.
What is a dwelling?
Your property is considered a dwelling if any part of it is used, or could be used, as a residence, such as a house or flat. This includes any gardens, grounds, and buildings within them.
Which properties are exempt from ATED?
Some properties are not classed as dwellings, such as hotels, guest houses, boarding school accommodation, hospitals, and student halls of residence.
Do I need an ATED valuation?
As per the legal rules and regulations, acquiring a valuation report every five years is essential and must be followed.
Engaging the services of a RICS Valuer will enable you to accurately determine the value of your property.
Your accountant can use this to figure out how much tax you’ll need to pay for your dwelling in the next 5 years.
An accurate valuation ensures that you avoid paying excessive taxes.
