Article summary

The ATT has responded to HMRC’s consultation on stamp duty land tax (SDLT) on mixed-property purchases and Multiple Dwellings Relief (MDR). The ATT is supportive of HMRC’s plan to crack down on SDLT tax avoidance when people buy residential property, but is concerned that HMRC’s proposals to tackle one aspect of the problem will add uncertainty for the purchaser about final purchase cost, complexity that affects both sellers and buyers and could delay the buying process - as well as resulting in increased SDLT bills.

Jurisdiction(s): England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales
