FAQ: Which UK property taxes should I include in a deal model?

Practical notes for using Koreograph to value, finance, track and compare property opportunities.

Short answer

SDLT affects entry cost. CGT can affect exit proceeds for personally owned property. Section 24 can affect annual rental tax for personal buy-to-let ownership.

How it works in Koreograph

Tax assumptions are included to help you compare scenarios on a more realistic basis. They are estimates for modelling and should be confirmed before purchase or disposal.

Developer view

Do not judge a deal only before tax. For investors, the difference between pre-tax and after-tax cashflow can change the decision. For developers and flips, the exit tax and sale timing can decide whether the margin is strong enough.
