The Property Tax Experts

Higher Rate of SDLT for Companies

Purchases of residential property by a company will as a minimum be subject to the higher rates of SDLT which now adds an additional 5% to each band of SDLT. This is a well known fact however, what you may not be aware of is that a purchase of a residential property worth over £500,000 by a company automatically attracts a higher 17% rate of SDLT and an annual charge unless an exemption applies. The penalties for non-payment of this higher rate are severe making it even more important that you get it right.

Relatus can advise whether an exemption applies and can warn you of the possible claw back events so that you can be sure you are not facing a demand for underpaid tax plus additional interest and penalties.
