The High Court decision on the farmers’ legal challenge to the inheritance tax reforms is perhaps not surprising.

Once the reforms had been announced and then enacted, the court was always likely to be reluctant to interfere with what it saw as a parliamentary and political matter instead of a legal one.

In her latest blog, Stephanie Churchill urges families affected by the reforms to now focus on reviewing their existing succession plans instead of waiting to see if the rules might be reversed.

Another interesting case that caught our eye...

The operators of a clothing business have lost their dispute with HMRC over a £6.2 million capital gains tax bill.

But the tribunal backed the taxpayers on the issue of whether HMRC was right to charge them penalties.

Stephanie Churchill examines the case and explains what taxpayers and advisers can learn from it.

She points out: "Rules, attitudes and guidance all change. So, if you can show you took professional advice at the point of implementation – and followed it – there’s every likelihood this will reduce or eliminate penalties if you find yourself in a disagreement with HMRC."
