Publication Abandoned The third edition of this invaluable guide provides a detailed explanation of the principles behind this complex tax, with reference to examples, and highlights particular planning opportunities and traps that can occur in everyday situations. The references to other taxes (inheritance tax, capital gains tax, VAT, income tax and corporation tax) illustrate that SDLT does not operate in a vacuum and must be considered in the overall context of taxation and tax planning. The book will also assist practitioners in advising their clients on compliance issues to avoid the risk of interest and penalties. It is fully updated to Finance Act 2006. Email updates available.
