Stamp Duty
Stamp Duty is one the oldest taxes in existence and is fundamentally a tax on documents which transfer property.
Stamp Duty can be a significant cost to any individual or business involved in the purchase of stampable property. It can also become payable on transactions which one might expect to be outside the scope of Stamp Duty.
We can advise any intending vendor or purchaser of property and traders wishing to incorporate if Stamp Duty will be an issue and how much it is likely to cost. We can also take care of the administrative side of things and offer suitable advice on how a deal can be structured to minimise a liability to duty.
Legislation offers significant relief from Stamp Duty on certain transactions involving companies. We can advise companies or groups on the conditions to be met to attain the reliefs available.
