Stamp Duty

Stamp Duty on Land & Buildings

Stamp duty on land is an increasingly serious charge with rates of up to 4 per cent and the potential for further rises. We can assist you in keeping stamp duty to a minimum while also making sure that your arrangements comply with the law. Stamp duty is in the course of fundamental change, but it will remain necessary to keep its impact to the absolute minimum whether for the business or individual. We can help you to do this.

Stamp Duty on Shares

Stamp duty is a nasty little tax on shares which can grow to be quite expensive. As the rules are in the process of changing, we can advise you on any methods of minimising the charge and make sure that stamp duty is dealt with properly.

Stamp Duty Planning

Having remained virtually unchanged in principle for more than 100 years, stamp duty is going through a revolution. We can help you in planning for the changes and how they will affect your business, your transactions or your personal affairs. We can also help you to plan ahead, so as to reduce the impact of this tax wherever possible.

Stamp Duty for Companies

Stamp duty grows in importance for companies, affecting not only movements of shares but also movements of assets among companies and plans for expansion and disposal. As the rules change and move into a new era, we can help your business to minimise the effects of this most unwelcome tax.
