  • RE: NRCG

    Thank you for the response above. How do we get the property valued at the date mentioned above? Get RICS surveyor, Estate Agent or request HMRC's valuation agency to provide a figure? Thank you.
  • BIK for Car Use

    Both partners are employed by and co-own the company. The husband has been provided a company car, subject to standard taxes and BIK regulations. If the wife is added as a secondary driver on the car insurance policy, will this result in any additional benefits or will the single benefit charge (on husband) suffice?
  • NRCG

    The mother and son jointly own a property, with the ownership split equally between them. The son is not a resident nor domiciled in the UK. He resided in the property before relocating abroad. It is believed that the son may be eligible to claim Principal Private Residence Relief (PRR) for the final nine months prior to selling the property. Additionally, he can utilise the default method by using the property value as of April 5, 2015, as the basis for calculating the capital gain. Can you confirm if this interpretation is accurate?
  • CGT on Property

    A mother and son co-own a property with a 50-50 split. The mother currently resides in the property. She has recently transferred her 50% share to her daughter-in-law. Can it be confirmed that she is exempt from paying Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on her share since the property is her primary residence?
  • RE: UK VAT For Amazon Sellers

    Shall I take it up in the agents forum or shall I anticipate a similar response?
  • RE: Rental Profits & Council Rent Confiscation Order

    Thank you for the email. The document SACM12005 mentions a form. Where can we find the form to make the claim? Thank you.
  • RE: Rental Profits & Council Rent Confiscation Order

    Thank you for clarifying. Can a claim not be made under TMA 1970, Sch 1AB? I understand the time limit for that is 4 years.
  • UK VAT For Amazon Sellers

    Dear HMRC, HMRC have been sending NETP letters to companies registered in the UK informing them that HMRC will deem them to be non-resident unless they can provide evidence to the contrary. For this case we assume that the company is NETP and the status is not disputed. Amazon has responded to pressure from HMRC by informing sellers that their funds will be temporarily blocked and used to pay HMRC until the VAT due from 01/01/2021 is settled based on sales made through the Amazon platform. Amazon is not open to discussion on this matter, as they are obligated by HMRC to report, collect, and pay these outstanding VAT amounts to HMRC. This prompts a number of inquiries, which should have been communicated to tax payers prior to the initiation of this entire campaign. I kindly request that HMRC provide clarification on the following matters: 1. Can NETP claim VAT on their purchases through their VAT return like UK companies? 2. 2. In the event that the NETP had registered for VAT and duly submitted their VAT returns to HMRC during this period, and Amazon now seeks to reimburse the VAT amount and remit it directly to HMRC, what procedure should the NETP follow in order to claim the VAT returns and payments they previously submitted, taking into account that this situation dates back to January 2021? Is there provision in legislation to correct errors dating back 4 years? 3. Could I inquire whether HMRC will investigate these concerns and provide timely refunds (there will be substantial amounts of refunds) as this entire scheme inadvertently has the potential to negatively impact numerous businesses in regard to cash flow constraints? Thank you.
  • Rental Profits & Council Rent Confiscation Order

    Tax returns reflecting the rental income and expenses were duly filed for the tax years 2018-2020, relating a property subject to a house in multiple occupation (HMO). However, in 2022, the local council issued a confiscation order, leading to the repayment of rent to the council during the tax year 2023-24.How do we rectify the previously filed tax returns, taking into account the returned rent that had been previously declared.
  • PAYE Registration

    Does an employer "have to" register for PAYE scheme with HMRC if the staff is being paid below the Secondary threshold of £9100?
