Tax in Historic Houses

How does tax policy shape our heritage?

39 Essex Chambers barristers Richard Harwood KC and Clarissa Levi of Wedlake Bell are joined by Sarah Roller of Historic Houses to discuss the economic benefit of country houses, how they operate as businesses and what our tax policy seeks to achieve. Why and how can heritage property be exempted from tax, and what effect does this have? We discuss what qualifies for exemption, what doesn’t, and the tax changes on the horizon.
