Contracts for Difference
The mutual respect which judges have for each other's opinions.
A major interest is a freehold or leasehold estate. A major interest for these purposes does not include a lease with a term of seven years or less. At Budget 2018, the government amended the definition of major interest to confirm that a major interest includes an undivided share in a major interest in a dwelling. This has effect from 29 October 2018, although HMRC is of the view that the legislation as drafted before this amendment enabled them to tax all purchases of undivided shares in land.
