Freehold company - selling part of the freeholder's land

Sorry to say this for the third time but that is wrong and its a common mistake.

That's excellent to know. So it could be used to fund the painting (or whatever) which surely is a bonus to everyone. Presumably this expenditure could then be used to offset the gain then.

No my point was that any expenditure is not subject to a trust ( unless of course one is in place) only the SC income is, whether under a trust or as is most common, by statute.

As I understand it the sale of an asset can be accounted for against expenditure and any residue subject to CT, rather than CGT, if it is treated as a sale to another in a close or mutual company.

The trick is to avoid any surplus on the day to day expenditure ( which is not normally subject to either as a close or mutual company) being hit by this.

Given the likely value of the land in the uplift in the value of the flat to which it will be attached, the £400 to £600 for advice and basic accounts are likely worth it.
