 Douglas Gordon - Saffery Champness

The income from game shooting, which has been estimated to contribute more than £1.6 billion to the UK’s rural economy, has not gone unnoticed by HM Revenue & Customs. Consequently, VAT on shooting has developed into a major issue and, in some cases, a major liability for those who own and manage shoots. For those attending the CLA Game Fair and perhaps on whom HM Revenue & Customs have focussed their attention, expertise is on hand on Friday 23rd July at the GunsOnPegs stand at the Game Fair being held this year at Ragley Hall, Warwickshire.
