It only applies to residential property. The rate of ATED correlates to the value of the property as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Taxable value between \u00a30.5m and \u00a31m \u2013 \u00a33,500<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxable value between \u00a31m and \u00a32m &#8211; \u00a37,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxable value between \u00a32m and \u00a35m- \u00a323,350<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxable value between \u00a35m and \u00a310m &#8211; \u00a354,450<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxable value between \u00a310m and \u00a320m- \u00a3109,050<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxable value over \u00a320m- \u00a3218,200<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The tax is payable in respect of each property (provided it is a dwelling) and is payable each year. It requires the filing of a tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rates above apply in the tax year 2016\/17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before 1 April 2014, dwellings with a value below \u00a32m were not subject to ATED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 1 April 2015, the figure was reduced to \u00a31m and on 1 April 2016, it was reduced to \u00a3500,000. With the passing of each year, more properties have fallen into the ATED net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relief may be available if the apartment or house is let on the market (letting to relatives does not work).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/stamp-duty-land-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stamp Duty Land Tax<\/a> and ATED changes, there have been changes to Capital Gains Tax (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/capital-gains-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CGT<\/a>) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/inheritance-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inheritance Tax<\/a>\u00a0to apply such taxes to offshore companies with UK property. Effectively, a death after 1 April 2017 can trigger UK inheritance tax liability in respect to a UK property enveloped in an offshore company (levied at a whopping 40%). Upon the disposal of such a property, CGT is now payable even if the owner is an offshore company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Owners of company-owned apartments and houses should urgently get advice on de-enveloping their properties so they are no longer held inside a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speak to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riaabarkergillette.com\/uk\/our-team\/john-gillette\/\">John
