Hello
HMRC have just updated their Check Employment Status for Tax tool (CEST). They seem to be quite tight lipped about the exact nature of the changes. Is that unhelpful or just careless?

Hello
We have a mixed bag of updates and case reports this week, but funnily enough, the capital taxes are the ones that always catch our eyes.
Entrepreneurs' Relief: property partnership not a trade
In Stephen Reneaux and Lynne Reneaux-Smith v HMRC [2019] TC7441, a claim for Entrepreneur’s Relief under the associated disposal rules failed. There had been a partnership, however it was not engaged in any trade.
Construction of sports pavilion by a CASC not VAT-exempt
In Eynsham Cricket Club v HMRC [2019] UKUT 0286, the Upper Tribunal (UT) found that although it was registered as a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) it was not a charity and so its sports pavilion could not be zero-rated.
Corporation tax rates won't change
The prime minister has announced to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) that if re-elected, the Conservative Party will back down from its pre-election pledge to reduce corporation tax. This means that the 19% rate is likely to remain for 2020.
