Stamp duty land tax (SDLT) can add significant extra costs to property transactions.

We advise on the SDLT treatments of a wide range of different transactions, including purchases of English commercial and residential properties, leases and property ownership structures.

We can help you navigate the rules, to ensure that all available SDLT reliefs are claimed and that there are no nasty surprises. SDLT rules include many surprising results and have changed many times in recent years, so up to date advice is key.

We also advise on the stamp duty treatment of purchases of UK company shares, including on restructurings and claims for relief.

Our team includes a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation’s (CIOT’s) Stamp Taxes Practitioners Group, so you can be sure that you are getting advice from an expert in this area.
