Navigating Capital Gains and Remortgaging

When considering the implications of remortgaging, it's essential to understand the relationship between capital gains tax and property investment. If properties are held under a limited company, capital gains tax does not apply, allowing for a simpler financial framework during remortgaging. For those who invest in their own name, capital gains tax only affects the profit made, not the total property value, which means the increase in equity can buffer against potential tax liabilities. It's advisable to calculate equity and tax implications before remortgaging to ensure that the risks are manageable and that sufficient profit is available in the event of a sale.
