Capital Gains Tax
Turf Cutters
Turf cutters will be exempt from CGT in respect of compensation payments made to them for giving up the right to cut turf in Special Areas of Conservation (section 60).
Contingent Liabilities
Section 56 provides that a deduction will only be available for contingent liabilities when the payment is actually made. Prior to this amendment, a tax deduction was available when the contingency arose.
