WHAT'S NEW ON www.vatexchange.co.uk and in the world of VAT?

Happy New Year!

I'm now up to date again with forum queries, but let me know if I've missed anything.

IF YOU ARE POSTING A NEW QUERY, PLEASE SET IT UP AS A NEW TOPIC AND DON'T ADD IT TO AN EXISTING QUERY POST. Sometimes it's difficult to spot new queries that have been added to an existing post so you might as well start off as new. You can always refer to an existing post with a link to the page or the title.

In the meantime, I'm working on a number of new articles for the site which will be posted over the next few weeks so keep checking in.

Some other recent developments:

• My new article "And mine's a pub with fries to go, please..." explains the main VAT issues to consider when buying a pub or other commercial property to convert into your home http://tinyurl.com/7d7wd7l
• More and more queries about commercial property conversions. This is a difficult area and many accountants are suddenly having to deal with partial exemption issues for the first time. We'll be looking into this in more detail in the new year.
• HMRC has been busy putting out new versions of various VAT notices recently - be sure to check that you're using the most up to date version of any you rely on
• I'm getting a lot of queries from private individuals on various VAT issues, including property and cars. I've recently started a new telephone advice service for these "one-off" queries from non-business clients and will be posting further details coming soon.
