LNB news: Law Society seeks views on its response to HMRC call for evidence on simplifying the VAT land exemption

The Law Society is seeking views on its response to the previously announced HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) call for evidence on the value added tax (VAT) rules which relates to land and property

Lexis®Library update: The call for evidence asks for experiences of how the VAT rules on land and property currently work and whether they require simplification. HMRC is seeking views on possible options for change including plans to remove the ability to opt to tax and making relevant transaction exempt and removing the option to tax and making all land and property taxable at a reduced rate.

To send comments on the proposals, email: property@lawsociety.org.uk
