Vat On Office Furniture

Summary

If a firm is VAT registered, it must charge VAT on office furniture sales, regardless of the buyers VAT status. Post-completion steps for purchasing a registered leasehold property include paying Stamp Duty Land Tax, filing the SDLT return, registering the purchase with the Land Registry, notifying the freeholder, and updating insurance policies. Rent apportionments involve ensuring outstanding rent is divided between buyer and seller up to completion. The principle of notice in registered land binds purchasers by all registered interests only. If magistrates do not accept summary jurisdiction for an either way offence, the trial occurs in the Crown Court. For new build flats, conduct a company search on developers, review the s106 Agreement, suggest a retention from the purchase price, and inspect estate roads.
