Everyone must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) on property transactions or non-residential land in England and Northern Ireland. The rules on SDLT have changed massively in the last few years, so it’s vital to seek professional advice for your stamp duty refund, even for the most straightforward of property and land purchase transactions.
Overpaid stamp duty land tax is common for several reasons. The 2016 changes to stamp duty cover the majority of properties but very few professionals are aware of these and the public even less so. There are also some serious shortcomings in the HMRC SDLT tax calculator, which is designed to only serve as a ‘mere guide’. If you used the HMRC tax calculator during this period you may have overpaid tax and therefore be entitled to an SDLT refund.
If you completed a property purchase within the last 12 months you could be able to claim an SDLT refund.
Our team of SDLT advisors will investigate your purchases, as through no fault of your own, you may have overpaid and could claim an SDLT refund. There are several tax relief and exemptions available as well as the simple fact that the property itself could have been misclassified.
If you are in fact due a refund, we will then go through the process of reclaiming overpaid SDLT with HMRC. All the advice given is from a qualified Chartered Tax Advisor, so you have peace of mind that this is legitimately being inspected and your SDLT repayment is in safe hands.
Our fee then simply becomes payable from the amount of Stamp Duty Land Tax repayment that we claim back on your behalf.
