Law firms ranked by client reviews
An option to tax is the process by which a land or property owner elects to tax the sale or rental of land for VAT, allowing VAT-registered buyers to reclaim input tax. A solicitor helps clients decide whether to exercise the option, drafts and submits the election to HM Revenue & Customs, and advises on the implications for sale, leases, and ongoing recharges. They also coordinate with surveyors and accountants to manage partial exemption and post-transfer VAT considerations.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor explains the election, its impact on VAT recoveries, and the consequences of withdrawal or expiry, including how it interacts with partial exemption rules and ongoing leases. They handle the drafting and filing of documents, ensure compliance with HMRC guidance, and liaise with the client’s commercial advisers to align VAT treatments with business plans.
