Lot 59

51 High Street, Newport, Isle of Wight, PO30 1SB

The Receivers and Managing Agents are uncertain on whether VAT is applicable to this sale. There is evidence that VAT was previously charged on the rent and credited back to the tenant. From June 2015 onwards rent has been demanded without VAT. The HMRC letter that the Receivers solicitors are in possession of does not confirm that they have a record of an option to tax, however, if the property was elected pre-1995 then HMRC would not have required notification. KPMG who acted as administrators on behalf of the bank in relation to this property believe that VAT is applicable and the buyer cannot raise any objection or requisition if this is not the case. The buyer''s attention is drawn to the provisions of the Special Conditions relating to the potential for the sale to constitute a transfer as a going concern.
