The VAT fight goes on

Article Abstract:

The property industry's opposition to government amendments to the Finance Bill may result in a government back-track. The amendments, which affect clause 37, have been made in an attempt to clamp down on tax avoidance and have been drafted by Customs & Excise. The British Property Federation (BPF) has submitted proposals for the definition of tax avoidance. Although the government has acknowledged the extent of opposition to the amendments, no guarantee has been made that BPF proposals will be implemented.
