Taking forward a Scottish Land and Buildings Transaction Tax

James Aitken — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 09:42:59 +0000

The Scottish Government consultation can be found here. The consultation paper seeks views on the Scottish Government’s proposals for a Land and Buildings Transaction Tax for Scotland to replace the current UK Stamp Duty Land Tax from April 2015.

This is important as it is effectively the beginning of a Scottish tax system.

The consultation is also of a standard that we will now expect. Previsous papers on corporation tax and excise duty, although not consultations, were simply not good enough. Lessons clearly have been learned.

The consultation ends on 30 August 2012.

Residence and “non-doms” consultations

The UK Government has finally published two important consultation papers on a “statutory residence test” and the reform of how we tax non-domiciled residents.

The statutory residence test consultation proposes the introduction of a statutory definition of tax residence for individuals and seeks views on the design and implementation of the framework for such a definition and on options to reform the concept of ordinary residence.

The reform of taxation of non-domiciled individuals consultation document seeks views on the detailed policy design of the changes announced in the 2011 UK Budget.

The consultation documents can be found here and here.
