Tax News Highlights: August 2021

In this podcast, Nele Dhondt and Tanja Velling discuss the proposal for a new UK subsidy control regime (and its impact on tax) as well as the EU General Court’s decision in the Nike and Converse State aid case. The podcast also covers key points around the draft legislation for the large business notification of uncertain tax treatment published on 20 July, better known as “L-day”, and the latest news on the modernisation of stamp taxes on shares, and it briefly mentions the Supreme Court’s judgment in Tinkler, applying the doctrine of estoppel by convention to prevent the taxpayer from denying that a notice of enquiry had been validly issued.
