Premium Leases must be done in precisely the right way.

Premium Lease is a brilliant concept invented by an ex-HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) Inspector in the early 1970s. It is a residential lease with a one-off upfront payment instead of a monthly rent. Premium leases are usually for one year +, but can be extended if necessary.

Opting to do a "Premium Lease" dramatically reduces the overall cost of leasing UK homes for relocating employees because the Premium Lease is much more tax effective than a tenancy agreement or company let, even after the payment of any Stamp Duty Land Tax.

Saunders 1865 has produced a popular educational paper Premium Leases Made Simple that covers the basics; also a podcast that covers more advanced aspects.

All our educational publications on global relocation issues are free to corporate HR professionals.

The key ingredient is the payment of a premium up front for the lease period, instead of monthly rent.

It is imperative that Premium Leases are managed and implemented professionally. The costs of getting a Premium Lease wrong can be very heavy indeed, as a number of Corporate Employers have discovered to their cost! HM Customs and Revenue insist on Leases being drawn up correctly – if not they will be rejected and the tax saving element will be lost costing the corporation thousands! Now, for the first time, there is a way you can be certain your Premium Leases are executed in accordance with Best Practice, whilst at the same time reducing the burden they put on your over-stretched human resources staff.
