Why Property Development Accounting Matters
Property development accounting is complex, and the challenges start at acquisition.
GST treatment (including second-hand goods credits and compulsory zero-rating), land tainting rules, and income recognition across multiple tax years all require careful planning. A misstep at the outset can sink a project before it starts.
Where projects involve a mix of properties held for sale and long-term investment, land partitioning and correct tax treatment are critical to avoid unintended tainting. Add in cashflow pressure from tax payments versus finance obligations, and expert advice becomes essential.
We help developers navigate these complexities to maximise outcomes and minimise risk.
