ASSOCIATION OF GOLF COURSE OWNERS APPLY FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW

FROM VIVIEN SAUNDERS   
The Association of Golf Course Owners has now put HMRC on notice of our intention to apply for a judicial review of their decisions relating to VAT in golf and the distortion involved.
We have also served notice on the UK Treasury Solicitor that it is our intention to apply direct to the European Commission for them to take proceedings against the UK Government for their failure to address the VAT distortion in golf. They have 28 days to respond before we take that action.
Please note that this is the culmination of 20 years of work by the Association of Golf Course Owners. We are specifically not the UKGCOA and we would like the European Golf Course Owners to communicate direct with us at AGCO so that we can explain our position. UKGCOA was a recently formed association, primarily linked to England Golf. Ours is a tax lobbying group and we would like recognition throughout Europe of all the work we are doing, under a degree of hostility from the governing bodies of golf.
Would the EGCOA please publicise our work and I personally would like to speak at a European Conference to explain our case.
Our documents will be published on line on the AGCO website in due course.
Vivien Saunders
