Profits from Trading in and Developing UK Land

This technical note and guidance explains the new legislation to ensure that profits from trading in UK land are fully taxed.

▤ Verbatim text from source document

The legislation puts in place a specific set of rules to tax trading profits derived from land in the UK.

The rules will:

  • apply to resident and non-resident businesses equally
  • won’t depend on the existence of a ‘permanent establishment’ in the UK

The government has now introduced the legislation, which takes effect from 5 July 2016.

See clauses NC11 to NC17 on pages 11 to 38 of the Order Paper and explanatory notes.
