Stamp Duty Land Tax – a practical guide for lawyers (second edition) Ann L. Humphrey and Philip Freedman Publication date: November 2007 Book Price £75.00 ISBN: 978 1904905 24 0Book and email updates Price £95.00 ISBN: 978 1904905 25 7Updated to include Finance Act 2007 changes. In 2003, stamp duty land tax, an entirely new tax applying to acquisitions of UK land, was introduced. Property lawyers and their tax colleagues had to learn a new set of rules and procedures as they familiarised themselves with the new regime. Several practical and legal difficulties emerged, and the system continues to change to accommodate these and other problems as they arise. This book takes a practical approach, looking at SDLT as it applies to particular transactions and dealing with issues which the property lawyer is likely to face when advising a client, whether acting in a straightforward purchase of freehold land, or negotiating the structure of a complex commercial sale or acquisition. The second edition of the book includes guidance on the many changes that have recently been made to the SDLT process, in particular to completing and filing the SDLT return itself, as well as dealing with the additions to SDLT law, such as HM Revenue & Customs’ new powers to combat avoidance. It covers all of the changes to SDLT announced in the 2007 Budget. To view the detailed contents, please click here To read the introduction, please click here About the authors Ann L.

From the review in the Tax Journal 24th January 2005: "A must for all advisers, whether they are regular or only infrequent advisers on SDLT, and particularly so for property advisers without access to colleagues able and willing to advise on SDLT planning."
