TVNDEM is a fixed-monthly-fee accountancy practice for UK investors in luxury and alternative assets — classic cars, watches, art, wine and collectibles. We handle structuring, capital gains and clean reporting with discretion and a named specialist. Free initial consultation, cloud accounting included.
A different kind of investment needs a different accountant
Most accountants rarely see a classic car portfolio or a six-figure watch collection held as an investment. The tax treatment isn’t always obvious: some assets are “wasting chattels” with valuable capital gains exemptions, others aren’t; some are best held personally, others through a company or SPV. Getting the structure right from the start protects your returns — and stops a nasty surprise on disposal.
What we cover
Structuring how you hold alternative assets — personally, through a company, or via an SPV; capital gains treatment and the reliefs and exemptions that apply to chattels and collectibles; accounting for buying, holding and selling; and clean reporting so you always know where a portfolio stands. Where assets are held for genuine investment through a company structure, we handle the full accounts and corporation tax alongside it.
SPVs for alternative assets
The same SPV structures that work for property can work for higher-value alternative assets — separating the investment from your personal finances, clarifying ownership between partners or family, and creating a clean vehicle if you ever want to sell or bring in a co-investor. We set these up correctly and run the ongoing accounting, so the structure actually delivers the protection and clarity it promises.
Discretion and understanding
Investors in this space value two things: someone who understands the assets, and someone who’s discreet. You won’t have to explain why a watch or a car is an investment, and you won’t be treated like an ordinary case. Just clear structure, correct tax, and a named person who knows what you hold.
