If you’re investing in property—residential or commercial—in Scotland (or across the UK), your accounting needs are more complex than many businesses. From tax rules to reliefs, from VAT to disposals, your property portfolio demands clarity and expertise.
At Callan Accountancy, we work closely with property owners, landlords, letting agents, developers and estate agents. We understand the challenges you face: changing legislation, intricate tax calculations, and balancing your books while growing your assets.
What we do
We provide a full spectrum of accounting services tailored for property professionals:
- Bookkeeping, preparing of company accounts and VAT returns
- Personal taxation and tax planning
- Advice on capital gains, property acquisitions and disposals
- Guidance on Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), Inheritance Tax, and capital allowances
- Structuring and restructuring for efficiency
- VAT on property transactions and reliefs (including entrepreneur reliefs)
Our team includes specialists in VAT and tax whose focus is the property sector. They stay current with the latest rules, so we can spot opportunities others might miss.
We don’t offer generic advice; we customise every plan to your needs and situation.
Specialist Knowledge When You Need It Most
Because property is not a one-size-fits-all sector. Mistakes or overlooked deductions can cost you. With a specialist:
- You mitigate risk of non-compliance
- You optimise tax efficiency
- You stay informed of legal changes as they happen
We also support you beyond just accounts: through financing advice, capital gains reporting, planning when to hold or sell, and transaction structuring.

Across Scotland, clients in the property world rely on us to keep their finances steady so they can focus on growth. We pride ourselves on being approachable, expert, and practical.
