Tis the season to be merry. But not even Santa is above the law. That is why Macnabs has put together this guide to make sure everyone in Lapland enjoys the festivities and Santa and Mrs Claus are still in a job next year:

Macnabs wish all our clients and friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please note that our offices will be closed from the 24th - 26th December, and 31st December - 2nd January. If you do need to get in touch with us urgently during these times, please email info@macnabs-law.co.uk. This email address will be checked on a regular basis during this period.    

Buy-to-let landlords or those who are considering buying a holiday home should act now before the Additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS) increases. The Scottish Budget delivered a blow for landlords and holiday home buyers, introducing a 1% increase on the tax payable when buying a second property. If approved by the Scottish Parliament, the ADS will increase from 3%-4% on 25th January 2019.  Landlords would have to be very quick off the mark to complete before the surcharge on Land and Building Transactions Tax increases next month.  

On the 21st of November a team from Macnabs took part in the CATH Sleep Out 2018, swapping their beds for a sleeping bag to experience a “good night’s sleep” on the cold, hard pavement to help fundraise for local charity, CATH. We are delighted to have raised a total of £1620 for CATH from this event! CATH (Churches Action for the Homeless) is a charity which supports, encourages and promotes the development and delivery of projects to relieve homelessness and poor housing, improve the conditions of life and generally aid the development of persons who are homeless in the Perth and Kinross area. Well done to everyone who took part, and thank you to everyone who has donated so generously.
