Episode notes
Use Both An Accountant And A Tax Advisor
- Separate accountant and tax advisor roles and use both for different needs.
- Use an accountant to file returns and spot deductible expenses, and consult a tax advisor for structural decisions like moving into a limited company.
Define Your Future Plans Before Seeking Tax Advice
- Prepare your future plans before asking a tax advisor because they need your long-term aims to recommend structure.
- Use Property Hub's free questionnaire at propertyhub.net/tools to clarify goals before meetings.
Prioritise Referrals And Publicly Active Advisors
- Try to get referrals from other property investors as your first option when choosing tax professionals.
- Failing that, pick professionals who publicly share expertise (podcasts, videos) so you can judge style and competence beforehand.
