Stamp Duty

Stamp Duty can have a significant impact on many businesses, whether you deal with the transfer of stocks and securities or land and property transactions. Both have implications for domestic and foreign stamp duty, making it important to consider the broader impact of all transactions that take place.

Our Stamp Duty team is part of a global network. With extensive experience we are ideally placed to provide practical advice and workable solutions whatever industry sector you are in.

Issues and trends

  • Make a protective claim for overpaid Stamp Duty Reserve Tax
    An opportunity has arisen to submit claims for repayment of the 1.5% Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT) charge incurred by UK public companies in the last six years.

If you would like to discuss any of these issues, please contact our group partner, Michael Quinlan

Our solutions

Real Estate

We offer advice on the SDLT implications of a number of commercial and high value residential property transactions, including investment structures, anti-avoidance provisions and disclosure obligations.

Equity markets and clearing systems

We can provide you with guidance around the status and transaction conditions for the various exemptions relating to SDRT, European law aspects and reclaims, as well as sponsored access and derivatives.

Fund management and the reorganisation of investments

We can advise you on the SDRT implications of equity fund changes and mergers as well as the treatment of corporate, trust and contractual based funds in different countries.

Mergers, acquisitions and disposals

We can help you with the impact that stamp duty, SDRT and SDLT have on group reorganisations, reconstructions and de-mergers. This includes making clients aware of reliefs that are available to them, the clawback of SDLT for companies holding UK real estate, and the effective management of such charges.
