Local Authority Searches: Proposed Introduction of VAT and Launch of New Con29 Search

Local authorities maintain a register of Local Land Charges and other relevant information.

The register and information are accessed either by people searching the records themselves or by paying a fee for a Local Authority Search. The search is in two parts, a search of the register and a search of other information records. HMRC are now saying that the latter, the Con 29, will attract VAT.

The council needs to be able to adjust the Con 29 fees accordingly when the VAT becomes due.
