The complex world of SDLT explained
VAT Director Gillian McGill and Tax Partner Dominic Carter unpack the complexities of stamp duty land tax (SDLT), focusing on why this everyday tax can become unexpectedly complicated. They explore the different rates for residential and non-residential property, the additional dwelling surcharge, and how trusts, joint ownership, and corporate structures affect liability. With SDLT hitting headlines again, they examine why even routine transactions can carry hidden risks. They also explain why specialist advice is often essential, especially with recent changes to reliefs like multiple dwellings relief (MDR) and rising property values pushing more transactions into higher tax brackets. Whether you're a property owner, solicitor, or buying your first home, this episode highlights the importance of understanding the rules and knowing when to seek help. GET IN TOUCH!
