KPDA CEO BREAKFAST FORUM

The world of real estate taxation and legalities has experienced a significant shift over the years. These shifts have had profound implications for industry players, reshaping investment strategies and influencing decision-making processes. To appreciate the current challenges and opportunities in the sector, it is essential to reflect on the transformation from the previous tax regime to the present one.

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming KPDA CEO Breakfast Forum, where we will delve into the dynamic landscape of the real estate sector under the theme: "Unlocking Value: Navigating Emerging Tax and Legal Issues in the Real Estate Sector."

In the past, real estate taxation primarily revolved around Capital Gains Tax (CGT), which had its complexities and intricacies. However, with the enactment of the Finance Bill into law, our industry is poised to undergo a significant transformation. This landmark legislation has prompted a paradigm shift in tax planning and structuring within the real estate sector.

Understanding these changes is essential for professionals seeking to maximize returns and minimize risks in their real estate ventures.

Our panel of experts will address key topics, including:

1. Joint Venture Agreements: Discover strategies to maximize value within Joint Venture Agreements, unlocking new potential in your partnerships.
2. CGT vs. Corporate Tax: Navigate the intricate realm of tax structures and learn which approach best suits your real estate ventures.
3. Tax Exemptions: Explore the potential tax exemptions available within the real estate sector, uncovering opportunities for savings and optimization.
4. Emerging Issues in Finance Act 2023: Gain insights into the latest legal developments and case law, ensuring you stay compliant and informed.
5. Practical Challenges: Grapple with real-world challenges such as long-term leases vs. sectional properties, land title conversions, and due diligence, illustrated through the lens of the recent "Dina case."

Save the date, mark your calendars and secure your seat at this crucial event for all real estate professionals.
