PAST EVENT: SDLT & CGT – The Latest Updates for Conveyancers
SDLT can be the bane of conveyancers’ working lives, but CGT also cannot be disregarded! Introduced in 2003, successive layers of complexity have been added to Stamp Duty Land Tax. Today, it is more challenging than ever for property lawyers to apply the relevant rules in complex and non-routine matters. Equally, there have been cases where clients blamed their conveyancers for penalties issued by HMRC for failure to make timely CGT returns and payments. This presentation will consider key risks which have emerged in recent times.
