This work covers disputes about transfer taxes on property transactions in England, principally Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) and related penalties, assessments and investigations by HM Revenue & Customs. A solicitor in this area reviews assessments, negotiates with HMRC, and prepares and lodges appeals, including documentation such as contracts, title evidence and correspondence. They also represent clients in any settlement negotiations, disciplinary or penalty proceedings, and in court or tribunal proceedings if needed. Matters may hinge on valuation, exemptions, or anti-avoidance provisions and the precise interaction of property law with tax rules.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The decisive steps are the filing of appeals within strict deadlines and any changes in assessed tax or penalties; if unresolved, litigation or higher tribunal involvement may follow, with consequences that affect future property transactions and penalties.
