Stick "1200 letters HMRC stamp duty" into Google and see what comes up.

There are a few angles and schemes in use and different perms from company owned, residential, commercial, overseas company owned etc. I am mainly talking about what me and you would see as regular residential dwellings. Anyone who has done something a bit irregular and not paid the duty should...

Let's wait and see. From what I have heard there have been 1200 letters already sent and more on the way. Uncle Spielberg has commented that some of his clients have had letters asking for stamp duty. I have already said it was not a loophole but a matter of interpretation....which the...

ILOVEBHA one of them. He was rather bullish and cocksure when he first logged on today. But once he had absorbed some of his work emails from when he was away his mood had changed by post #194.

Paper talk? HMRC? it was the PM on tv and further backed up by Osborne yesterday. Let's wait until the budget is over to see what it exactly entails. AS for your claim about cases not being lost, technically this is probably true as the HMRC have only recently sent out letters. I'm not aware of...

Welcome back, how are things in the office this morning then?

The government were looking into this a while back, and as always it was/is about interpretation. A lot of key people agreed that the legislation was pretty damn clear and that any intepretation to the contrary was fanciful. Given Osborne has come out with his statements I can only presume that...

Depends. I was owed money by an estate agents which folded. Due to a little error the owner had made I was able to pursue the individual for my money ie he was unable to hide behind the limited company. Get yourself a smart solicitor, it pays.

I imagine he is starting to shit his pants as well as look for a new career. It has been most amusing looking back over this thread; it looks like I (well, the people who advised me) am going to be 100% correct on this issue.

Just curious. I have developed a keen interest in this topic via my personal dealings and the discussions on this thread.

1200 challenges actually. I have read the HMRC have sent out requests for payment of unpaid tax in 1200 choice cases. Any of your clients had a demand?

So what? I've written a fair but and yes I reiterated my position. What's the big deal? I was not intending to imply that all three items I listed demonstrate that opinion leaders are opposed. The HMRC release is their current position. The FT link and the US demonstrate that some folk who...

Ask ILOVEBHA. Probably not, but at the very least I'm sure he wants me to think about his responses.

First, this is a chat room. It is for chat and discussion. NSC would be a bit pointless if everyone said "okay, that's your view lets move on." at the first opportunity wouldn't it? Go back through this thread and you sill see I have posted as much as I can to demonstrate why i am opposed and...

Version 1 Stamp Duty Land Tax Avoidance Schemes At the time of writing, our assessment is that none of the avoidance schemes that we have fully analysed has the effect the promoters claim – either because the general SDLT provisions do not apply in that way or because the targeted...

I have never used the scheme because I was advised not to. I was in a position where I had a number of options on the title configuration of a property as well. My advisor mentioned I might have heard of these schemes but he suggested avoiding them as they are subject to challenge with the very...

I think I am correct in saying that the HMRC are looking into this. The chap at John Charcol mentioned this a while back. Just because they have not proven the 'certain criteria' at present does not mean they will not in the future. They have 4 years to do it after all. You cannot be 100% sure...

Just to clarify you are offering the scheme whereby a company owns the property and the owner buys the company which owns the property?

So, your scheme is based on not paying and keeping your fingers crossed the HMRC do not come knocking for 4 years? As an aside, I dispute this 4 year period as per Driver8's post.

So, by your own admission your scheme cannot be deemed a success at least until 4 years from the time of purchase?
