Important Tax & Financial Advice Notice

Acorn Finance is a specialist credit broker authorised and regulated by the FCA, not a tax advisory firm or accountant. Consolidating portfolios, transferring assets from personal names into a Limited Company SPV, Section 24 mortgage interest relief, Capital Gains Tax (CGT), and Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) portfolio relief carry complex tax implications. The information on this page is designed to highlight key structural considerations so you can lead an informed discussion with your qualified accountant or chartered tax specialist.
