This chapter considers these problems and how they can be avoided, or at least mitigated. It shows that the tax rules are the most important consideration in this area, since if they are not appreciated, an unexpected tax bill can cause very serious cash flow problems. They include rules on income tax, capital gains tax, VAT, and stamp duty/stamp duty land tax.
