Tax clarity for share block property schemes

The 2009/2010 tax proposal is for the law to be clarified so that at least one form of indirect tax applies to this special form of interest in underlying real estate.

This is just one of several proposals to amend legislation around VAT, it emerged during the presentation of the National Budget 2009 to Parliament.
