The Tax Factor – Episode 118 - Tax Year Resolutions, Marshmallows & an Ex Premier League Player Caught Out

This week on The Tax Factor, Suzanne Briggs and Heather Powell begin with a roundup of the top tax stories making headlines before moving into a discussion of several key property tax cases. These include a VAT dispute involving a nursery development and an SDLT case considering whether a property with extensive grounds could qualify for mixed-use treatment.

The episode also looks at a main residence relief case where HMRC challenged the taxpayer’s position, but the tribunal ultimately found in their favour. The discussion highlights how fact-specific these cases are and how small details can make a significant difference to the outcome.

Finally, Suzanne and Heather turn to the wider theme of increasing tax complexity, covering developments such as Making Tax Digital, landlord reporting requirements and broader proposals that could add further compliance obligations for taxpayers and businesses.
