Entitlement to this relief had been missed by the client\u2019s previous accountants &amp; specialist tax advisors who had been brought in especially to handle the inheritance aspects of his tax affairs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As the farm lands had been let for several years on a conacre basis, the initial entitlement to apply for the Business Relief Exemption became available within two years of the valuation date after a ground-breaking Court Decision in another case lead to the client being entitled to file an amended CAT return for this element of his inheritance, resulting in a tax refund of \u20ac125k.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the subsequent period following these two significant Tax-Free Exemption claims Revenue not surprisingly decided to audit this clients CAT returns but McGleenan &amp; Co had ensured that the detailed notes &amp; evidence established at the time the client was taken on, in particular in respect of the PPR Exemption Claim, was sufficiently robust to allow Revenue agree the claims stand in full and to close the audit without any further action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Important Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT) Reliefs missed by prior Accountants &amp;
