RE: Owning property with partner (unmarried, no civil partnership)
Hi
1. you would need to send in a declaration of trust to show the revised split. this must be signed by both parties and witnessed.
2. as tennants in common, any beneficial interest is based on the actual ownership of the property and any alernative split must be put in writing via the declaration of trust as mentioned in point 1. -
RE: CGT tax on property
Hi
1. you get the additional 9 months at the end on top of the period you lived in it (this is assuming you were not living in it when sold as this would count as the final 9 months)
2. you still need to report and pay within 60 days. you then also include a CG page on your return to show it again but also show the gain previoulsy declared and tax paid. -
RE: Allowable expenses - Costs of replacing domestic items
Hi
Thank you for your question.
When an amount or deposit is paid towards an asset but for whatever reason that asset is never received or purchased, the monies "lost" are known as abortive expenditure.
This can be a known situation whereby a house purchaser puts a deposit on a property but the deal falls through.
You cannot claim a capital loss to set against other capital gains that may arise.
Similarly, a lost deposit on the purchase of an item which would normally be revenue in nature cannot be claimed as a revenue expense to set against income arising.
Expenditure that turns out to be incurred in relation to an asset that is not purchased, i.e. abortive expenditure, is not changed in nature or character by the fact of becoming abortive expenditure. -

There are 2 transactions taking place.
Your supply to the customer in Germany can be zero rated as long as you obtain the evidence from the artist who exported the goods and that you meet the conditions below:

RE: DIY Self build VAT Claim - can you claim for kitchen and flooring fitting
Hi.
If you are using the DIY Scheme for a new build then you are allowed to reclaim the VAT on fitted kitchen furniture and flooring,with the exception of carpets and carpet tiles.
The installation of these should be at the zero rate of VAT as it's work in relation to a new build and so there would be no VAT to reclaim.
If the DIY Scheme is in relation to a converstion then 5% VAT will be charged on the installation of these items and this would be reclaimable on the DIY application.
Please see the guidance below:

RE: Query Regarding VAT Return - Sales to Other EU Countries Shipped from EU Fulfillment Centre
Hi.
If the goods are not sent from the UK to France but are distributed from a fulfillment centre in France to customers in the EU then the sales would not need to be reflected on the VAT return as they are all Outside The Scope Of VAT.
