BIM22000 - Meaning of trade: exceptions and alternatives: contents

This section deals with some activities which are at the fringes of trading income. If you need to make assessments you should consider whether alternative assessments are needed in order to protect the HMRC position. This procedure, which has been approved by the courts, is not considered to involve double taxation (see Bye v Coren 60 TC 116 and Lord Advocate v McKenna 61 TC 688).

It covers the following:

  1. BIM22001
    Furnished lettings
  2. BIM22005
    Illegal activities - introduction
  3. BIM22007
    Illegal activities - the trading test

  6. BIM22015
