Accountants for Property & Landlords in Ireland
Property is one of the most tax-sensitive areas in Irish business — rental income, allowable expenses, financing costs, and the big question of how property is owned and taxed. KPG Accounting Services Limited helps Irish landlords, investors and developers keep it compliant and structured sensibly.
Understanding the sector
From a single rental to a development company, property finances turn on ownership structure and tax. Rental income, allowable expenses and financing costs must be handled correctly; capital versus repairs, VAT on property, and whether a property is investment or trading stock all affect the outcome; and CGT and stamp duty need coordinating. Personal versus company ownership is a decision with long-term consequences.
Common challenges
Ownership structure
Personal, company or partnership ownership — each with different tax outcomes.
Rental income & expenses
Getting allowable expenses and financing costs right.
Capital vs repairs & property VAT
Distinguishing improvements from repairs, and navigating VAT on property.
Development & disposals
Development costs, trading vs investment, CGT and stamp duty coordination.
Every one of these problems disappears the moment bookkeeping is handled properly, in the cloud, by a team that does it every day. That’s what we offer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Should I hold property personally or through a company?
It depends. Company ownership can help with reinvestment and certain planning, but brings its own taxes on extracting profit and on disposals, and isn’t automatically better. The right structure depends on your goals, financing and timescale, so we’ll model your options. See our Business Advisory page. Property tax is complex — treatment depends on the transaction and ownership.
What expenses can I claim against rental income?
Many costs — such as certain financing costs, letting agent fees, insurance, repairs and allowances — can usually be offset, but the rules have conditions and capital improvements are treated differently from repairs. We’ll make sure your rental computation is right. See our Tax Services page.
How does VAT work on property?
Property VAT is genuinely complex — whether a sale or letting is taxable or exempt, and whether options or the Capital Goods Scheme apply, depends on the property and the transaction. We’ll review your specific situation before you commit. See our Tax Services page or get in touch.
Can you help property developers with project reporting?
Yes. We track development costs, distinguish trading stock from investment property, and report project cash flow and margin so you know where each scheme stands. See our Management Accounts page.
