Download or read book Stamp Duty Land Tax written by Ann Humphrey and published by Spiramus Press Ltd. This book was released on 2007 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003, stamp duty land tax (SDLT), an entirely new tax applying to acquisitions of UK land, was introduced. Property lawyers and their tax colleagues had to learn a new set of rules and procedures as they familiarized themselves with the new regime. Several practical and legal difficulties emerged, and the system continues to change to accommodate these and other problems as they arise. This book takes a practical approach, looking at SDLT as it applies to particular transactions and dealing with issues which the property lawyer is likely to face when advising a client, whether acting in a straightforward purchase of freehold land or negotiating the structure of a complex commercial sale or acquisition. This second edition includes guidance on the many changes that have recently been made to the SDLT process, in particular to completing and filing the SDLT return itself, as well as dealing with the additions to SDLT law, such as HM Revenue & Customs' new powers to combat avoidance.
Download or read book A Practical Guide to Stamp Duty Land Tax in England and Northern Ireland written by Suzanne O'Hara and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT THE BOOK COVERS This publication is not designed as a comprehensive guide to the legalities of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT); there are other (very good) books for that. Rather, it attempts to boil the topic down to the key areas that a conveyancing solicitor needs to know. The material is split into short topics and the headline points are brought to the fore, with the aim of creating an easily referenced step-by-step guide to the SDLT charging provisions and their practical application in everyday scenarios. In particular: What constitutes a land transaction Effective dates and when SDLT is chargeable What and how much is chargeable Rates of tax, including classification of residential and non-residential property and areas of uncertainty and potential tax saving opportunities After establishing the basics, the book provides a comprehensive analysis on areas of particular relevance to conveyancers (as well as highlighting some potential risks). This includes: 3% higher rates for additional dwellings Available reliefs; including First Time Buyers Relief and Multiple Dwellings Relief Transactions involving leases Partnership transactions 15% rate for acquisition of dwellings by non-natural persons WHY YOU NEED THIS BOOK Up until relatively recently, SDLT was a pretty straightforward consideration. In the last few years, however, it's become an increasingly complex area and busy solicitors often have neither the time nor the inclination to delve into the fine print. A medical analogy might be apt. When it comes to SDLT, the role of the solicitor is akin to that of a GP; they have a huge knowledge of ailments and can cure most, but occasionally they'll have to refer to a specialist. This book will help with those quick diagnoses, whilst also signposting when it's time to call in the surgeon. This publication is written in simple language, with a focus on stripping back the complexities of the SDLT legislation. The result is a practical guide covering the main areas of interest and potential risk for conveyancers, to pick up and reference with ease. The publication includes everyday examples to help illustrate how the rules apply in practice and checklists to aid the application of the rules.
