HMRC Enquiries: Private Residence Relief Problems

One of our clients contacted us to request assistance on a Private Residence Relief (PRR) case.

The client was a wealthy entrepreneur who had dabbled in the property development business and HMRC was now seeking to disallow PRR on the sale of their current home – not only because it was a substantially redeveloped property, but also because the property had an additional stretch of land attached to it which meant that the total area sold was over half a hectare.
