Property joint ventures – the tax issues

Abstract This paper examines the main tax issues which need to be considered when setting up a property joint venture, whether for development or investment purposes. The paper starts with the initial questions that must be asked of all parties to the joint venture before a suitable structure can be identified. It then briefly considers some of the key tax issues that arise in joint ventures before looking at the main joint venture vehicles available. Finally, a short case study is used to consider how some of these issues may be considered and resolved in practice. Copyright © 2001 Henry Stewart Publications
