Opt to tax 1614A - in the modern world

Opt to tax 1614A - in the modern world

Didn't find your answer?

My company client is purchasing a commercial property.  There were two tenants although one has now vacated so the intended use is one tenant - the same tenant! - to continue and my client will then use the remaining 2/3rds of the property/land for it's own business use.

Ordinarily I would know this is a TOGC because of buying a property with tenants in. I still think it's a TOGC so please confirm if I'm wrong.

We then move to the easy question. The last time I did a 1614 form was when tinternet was in it's infancy....paper forms!!! How do we submit 1614 "elections" to HMRC nowadays. It still looks like complete a pdf, print and post to Cochrane Street in Glasgow. Have HMRC not moved on? No way, no REQUIREMENT, even to do this only online or "please email the form".

thank you

Is it a ToGC if you are not carrying on the same business as the seller?

You only intend to rent half the property, the other half you intend to own/occupy for your own purposes/not rent.

Not saying it isn't a ToGC, just be sure the conditions are met re. carrying on same kind of business.
