This is a guideline intended for potential buyers of Cayman Islands Building Plots who are interested in purchasing through a SIPP. Caribbean Land / Oasis are not authorised to give financial advice and to obtain further information about SIPPS you will need to speak to an Independent Financial Advisor.
Our Cayman Islands Plots have been approved by one of the UK’s leading SIPP providers as being compliant under the UK allowable pension investment rules.
A self-invested personal pension (or SIPP) can offer property investors a tax efficient way of holding commercial property which includes development land in or outside the UK. A SIPP is a specialist type of registered personal pension which allows the person investing for retirement a wider investment choice than has traditionally been available. A SIPP offers a flexible method of retirement planning for a UK tax payer. It enables pension investments to be selected to suit an individual’s requirements and attitude to investment risk.
Legal ownership of a Cayman Islands building plot purchased through a SIPP will rest with the Trustees of the SIPP. It is important to check that the SIPP provider being utilised permits foreign property purchases.
Once a plot is held through the SIPP any growth will be free of UK capital gains tax and income tax. Contributions to the SIPP are treated for tax purposes in the same as those for personal pension schemes. Individual contributions to the SIPP automatically receive basic rate tax relief whilst higher and additional rate tax payers may be able to claim greater relief.
SIPPs are becoming popular because :-
• they offer a simple structure
• generous tax benefits are available
• they are flexible
• and most people are eligible to invest through a SIPP
Pensions are a complex area and appropriate professional and financial advice should always be taken before investing in a SIPP.
