    The exemption continues to apply for each year you meet all the requirements.

    However, a change in circumstances may affect your exemption and you must tell us in writing by 31 July of the relevant tax year, if you’re no longer eligible for the exemption in that year. If you don’t do so, you may be liable for interest and penalties in addition to the land tax payable.

    Use the form below to notify us if your circumstances have changed.
