Guidance

Development of the law

Prior to April 2013, non-resident companies were typically not within the scope of UK corporation tax on chargeable gains, save in respect of capital assets which were used as part of a UK permanent establishment. This offered a particular incentive to non-resident companies investing in UK land. However, from April 2013, there has been a gradual erosion of this tax benefit. See the Direct disposals of interests in UK land by non-residents guidance note for a summary of the changes up to 6 April 2019.

From 6 April 2019, all disposals of interests in UK land by non-residents are within scope of either the CGT or corporate chargeable gains regime. Any overseas entity owning or leasing UK property should register on the Register of Overseas Entities.
