Acquiring residential housing had a number of important tax implications, the nature of which depended on who was involved in the acquisition. In this seminar, we provided a brief overview of some of these implications, focusing particularly on local authority and public sector acquirers.
Public bodies often found themselves acquiring residential housing—for example, in their role as social housing providers, through compulsory purchase orders (CPOs), or pursuant to planning agreements. While public bodies were generally exempt from direct taxation, VAT, stamp taxes, and long-term planning considerations still required them to carefully assess the tax implications of residential housing acquisitions.
