Taxand’s Take
When dealing with the global property markets and ever-changing regulatory and tax regimes surrounding there is a simple equation to master: cash-strapped governments + real estate = a need for early tax planning. Private equity real estate firms should be prepared to:
- pay more for core properties
- balance your listed and unlisted real estate products
- plan for an increased level of scrutiny from the regulatory authorities
- match your organisational structure and tax approach to the business model and strategy of your firm
- constantly follow and communicate the impact of tax law developments
- modify existing structures before tax changes take effect
