Commercial property

A current client has asked me a few questions in regards to his purchase of commercial property .

"Cost 270k XXX to pay £100k approx
Rent from unit 20k per annum
Is the 100k a cost ie reduce profit on the year end?
Can this be a pension fund contribution?
Is the profit form rent (approx £7k per annum ) taxable?
Is there a level of profit in a company (similar to personal tax) where a company wouldn’t pay tax until the profit was above this level ie £10k profit so anything less than this no tax and anything above would be taxed?
Just looking at best / most tax efficient way of buying and running it"

I've informed him I'm not a tax advisor , and told him the extent of my knowledge but wanted to do my own research for experience.

His current limited company will be borrowing 100k to a new limited co , then this company will be renting the unit to another company .

Any thoughts on pension fund contribution ?

    Hi Nicola
    your post is not clear

    Purchase of commercial property is clearly a capital expense therefore can not be accounted for in P&L.- what is the 100K?

    There are no annual exemption/allowance for Ltd companies.

    You say rent from unit is 20K per annum but then use 7K?

    Can you explain which company does what and the connection between the client and the other two companies (% shareholding etc...).
