Stamp Duty Land Tax ('SDLT') raises some £6 billion per annum - more revenue than inheritance tax and capital gains tax put together. Providing a much-needed, incisive and comprehensive commentary on every aspect of SDLT, this book will appeal to property lawyers, tax specialists, and anyone involved in land transactions. It gives a detailed discussion of the legislation and puts forward suggested interpretations and planning opportunities. The second edition is fully updated and deals with the many changes that have been made since the introduction of SDLT. New chapters provide in-depth coverage of the treatment both of leases and partnerships. Areas of difficulty which arise in practice are dealt with throughout. In addition, the chapter on planning has been revised to take account of new legislation and case law, including the impact of the SDLT disclosure rules.
Read more- Concise book comparing the old and new stamp duty provisions introduced with effect from 1 December 2003. Accessible to all professionals in the property industry.
- This new edition is fully updated to take account of changes up to 2005 Finance Acts, and includes detailed coverage of the SDLT treatment of leases and partnerships. Covers land transactions only, and is not therefore cluttered with material on other stamping transactions.
- Includes interpretation and planning recommendations.
