Speaker: Jenni Christy & Debbie Seels, Grant Thornton 
Times: Registration: 5.00pm – 5.30 pm. Seminar: 5.30pm – 7.00pm

This seminar will update you on some recent developments in the world of UK property taxes, and will also explore the interaction of taxes at different stages of property ownership, including acquisition, development, tenancies and eventual disposal.  It will also include a review of the tax sections of CPSE forms, looking at their purpose and the key information requirements – and the potential impact of getting it wrong.

The seminar will cover the following essential property tax issues:

• CPSE forms – getting the tax questions right
• VAT developments – including the introduction of a new ‘reverse charge’ for construction services, and some key case law decisions
• SDLT/LTT – overview of the changes in recent years and the importance of getting the correct distinction between residential or non-residential
• Leases – an overview of the tax treatment of inducements to enter a lease or payments to exit a lease, from the perspective of both the landlord and tenant
