How we can help

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is the tax you pay when you acquire land or buildings situated in England and Northern Ireland. Different taxes apply in Wales or Scotland, but they share similarities with SDLT. Paying this tax should be a fairly simple mechanical transaction, but our experience at Deeks VAT Consultancy has proved otherwise.   

SDLT has become ever more confusing to understand and complex to apply. Deeks VAT consultancy is here to help you unravel this complexity and avoid the difficulties and heavy costs that might arise from making an error. Frequent changes in the law and reporting procedures mean that SDLT is a constantly evolving field of expertise, but our team is always aware of updates and can advise you on the day-to-day situation. Since 2006,  our SDLT consultants have specialised in providing Stamp Duty advice to a wide variety of clients, from private homeowners to commercial developers, as well as solicitors dealing with land transactions.  

Why Seek SDLT Advice? 

Our experts can advise you on residential, non-residential and mixed-use property transactions across the UK, including such information as SDLT thresholds and available discounts, time to pay, plus interest and penalties.
