This area covers the taxes that apply when you buy or transfer property or assets in England, notably Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) and the value-added tax that can arise in relation to certain purchases and services. A solicitor helps you understand which taxes apply to your purchase or sale, calculates the amount, and helps you complete the required returns and declarations. They also identify reliefs, exemptions, and reliefs to which you may be entitled and explain how deadlines affect your position.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The solicitor focuses on the thresholds, rates and timings that determine your tax liability, including the boundary points for SDLT and any VAT considerations where relevant. They’ll navigate deadlines for submissions, gather the necessary documentation, prepare the returns, and ensure the calculations align with current tax rules and scheme schemes, protecting your position from miscalculation or late filing penalties.
