Introduction

Even the simplest of transactions can give rise to potential issues with transactions in securities legislation. There has recently been a renewed focus on the rules as HMRC appear to have altered their stance on giving clearance and a raft of counteraction notices have been issued for transactions undertaken in early 2016.

This 3 hour virtual classroom session, presented by Philip Ridgway of Temple Tax Chambers, seeks to demystify the legislation and caselaw and to provide a road map as to when the legislation will apply and the consequences of it doing so.
