When we can help
Advice at key stages of your project.
Property projects bring together decisions about ownership, funding, tax and timing. Considering these early helps you understand the implications before you commit.
- You’re planning a project and need to decide how it should be owned and structured.
- Your project spans several financial years, raising questions about cash flow, tax and when profits are recognised.
- You need to understand the GST implications of acquiring, developing or selling a property.
- Your lender or project partners need clearer financial information to assess progress and funding requirements.
How we help
Keeping the project and the wider business in view.
We help you understand the accounting and tax implications of your project, considering how it connects with your other business interests and personal circumstances.
-
Project structures
Review ownership and entity options before a project begins, taking account of the parties involved, funding arrangements and intended use of the property.
-
GST and the margin scheme
Understand the GST treatment of property transactions, including whether the margin scheme may be available and what needs to be considered before contracts are signed.
-
Timing of profit
Plan for the accounting and tax implications of income and expenses across the life of a project, particularly where development and sales span multiple financial years.
-
Funding and reporting
Prepare financial information that supports funding discussions, tracks project performance and gives you a clearer view of cash flow and commitments.
-
Joint ventures
Consider how contributions, ownership and profit-sharing arrangements will be reflected in the project’s structure and reporting, working alongside your legal adviser.
-
Completion and next steps
Assess the implications of selling, retaining or transferring completed properties, distributing project profits and winding up entities where appropriate.
