property dev joint venture - pitfalls to avoid??
Discussion
May be going into a JV with another developer on a property that I own. Just completed on the purchase and have put in for more enhanced planning. Other developer has construction and projection management infrastructure. He will be cashflowing interest and the build - profit will be split in proportion to capital outlay - which looks to be about 55:45 in my favour.
ANy obvious pitfalls to avoid?

Hi Eric
I thought you'd be first to respond!
RE: tax on profit - not got that far yet. My other main concern is how to get the property into the limited company without paying stamp duty twice. Have meeting on Wednesday with my accountant and tomorrow with my solicitors, but thought I'd put it out to the PH brains trust.

What type of profit - will it be a Trading Profit from a Property Development business or will it be a Capital Gain on a one-off investment?
You didn't originally mention a limited company at all and that really does make the whole picture a lot more complicated.
You say you already have an accountant so there are limits to what I can say to you.

It sounds fairly straightforward to me then. The company is a normal trading company and will pay Corporation Tx on its normal trading profits - if and when it makes these profits. The tricky part is
i) how the ownership of the company is structured
ii) how money is extracted from the company by the participants (shareholders/directors/employees) in as tax efficient a manner as possible.
