Get your Stamp Duty calculated by experts, without the hassle

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a self assessment tax that is the responsibility of the home buyer to get right. Conveyancers will charge home movers to submit their returns, but very few are really able to offer any form of tax advice.  

​

The total value that you pay tax on is called the consideration. This is based upon the value of the property or land that you are buying, however, there are many tax breaks and allowances that make this area of tax extremely complicated. 

 

It is estimated that around 30% of all SDLT submissions are incorrect. This has lead to a whole industry being created to claw back and reclaim overpayments that have been made. The "where there's a blame, there's a claim" culture has hit the property sector hard over the past year and will continue to grow where errors persist.

​

Underpayments are a massive issue too for home buyers. Imagine that you didn't realise that owning a timeshare abroad was relevant and you missed the additional 3%, only to be told by HMRC months later that you owed £10k !?! If you didn't have the money in savings and hadn't accounted for the cost, would you have proceeded with the purchase? Finding £10k down the back of the sofa is very challenging.

​

We provide access to experts who ensure that you do not over or underpay by completing your SDLT calculation quickly and correctly, enabling your conveyancer to submit an accurate return on your behalf.

​

In many cases the costs of SDLT is high and constitutes one of the largest costs, outside the value of a property, that a home buyer will have to cover.  Our experts ensure that your tax obligations are met.
