  • TAAR: targeted anti-avoidance rule.

    No published limits on what is reasonable. HMRC interprets the rules as it sees fit, not worth fucking with them. Of course they only go after small businesses, Berkshire H would no doubt cut a sweet deal with them if it were here.

    As TW says, it only really matters when you apply for the tax relief after closure, they'd look at it then. I don't expect they look at it as a matter of routine. This scenario may be irrelevant for the person who first raised it, but just mentioned it as I've recently become aware of it.
