Redmount -v- HMRC
In this case, the Upper Tribunal confirms that a valid enquiry may be opened into a protective SDLT return and that no special limitation period applies to SDLT closure notices. The issues were decided in the context of a sub sale scheme involving an agreement to grant an option, subsequently blocked by retrospective legislation.
Elizabeth Wilson KC acted for HMRC.
