Forestry Investment Consultancy Ltd
Forestry Investment in the UK is relatively new but already has an enviable track record, owing to the attractive returns and valuable tax benefits achieved by its owners.
For many, their forest is one of the owner's most prized possessions and Forestry Investment Consultancy (FIC) gets great satisfaction from assisting in the purchase of forests, either as individual assets, or creating sizeable forestry portfolios.
For the last 25 years FIC has been one of a few companies providing independent forestry investment, acquisition, and management advice.
All forests and woodland purchased and managed through Forestry Investment Consultancy will be considered as commercial forests and therefore the owners will be eligible for the following tax incentives:
The compelling reasons for forestry investment
- Forestry Investments qualify as Business Assets, removing any Inheritance Tax liability when the property passes down a generation (after a 2-year qualifying period)
- Tax-free income from timber harvesting - which is highly attractive for the owner
- There is no CGT liability on the value of the tree crop at the point of sale (which is where most of the value lies)
