About Us
About Us
Stamp Duty Tax are a specialist team of property tax and SDLT consultants dedicated to identifying and recovering Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) overpayments for properties that were uninhabitable at the time of purchase. Our work is grounded in recognised tribunal case law and HMRC guidance on refunds, and we focus on claims where a property’s condition or classification means a lower (non-residential or mixed-use) rate should have applied.
By working with us, you benefit not only from our specialist tax advice but also from our extensive property investing experience. We don’t just advise — we actively invest in multiple property deals ourselves, which means the insights we share are rooted in real-world experience. Our clients often say we’re a rare breed; we simply say we’re different — bringing together expert tax knowledge and hands-on property investing lessons to deliver practical, results-driven guidance.
What We Do
We review your purchase documents and supporting evidence to determine whether an SDLT refund claim exists.
We compile and prepare a robust, evidence-based submission for HMRC’s technical team.
We manage communications with HMRC, respond to technical queries and, where necessary, represent the client through the administrative stages of the claim.
Many UK specialist firms follow a similar HMRC-compliant claims workflow to ensure appropriate documentation and reduce risk.
Our Process
Free Eligibility Check — You provide purchase details and documents.
Case Assessment — We review surveys, completion packs, and solicitor files to determine if the facts support an SDLT rebate.
Prepare & Submit — We prepare a detailed submission to HMRC’s technical team, including surveyor/engineer statements where needed.
HMRC Liaison & Resolution — We handle technical correspondence and, if HMRC requests further evidence, we work to obtain and present it.
Settlement & Payment — If HMRC approves the claim, funds are released to the client. (Typical turnaround from receipt of full documentation to payment: around 6 weeks, depending on HMRC workload and case complexity.)
Fees & Risk
Our fee structure is simple, transparent, and client-focused. We only proceed once we’ve carefully assessed the potential of your case and discussed all costs clearly with you. There are no hidden charges — you’ll always know exactly what to expect before we begin.
Our goal is to make the claims process as stress-free and risk-free as possible, ensuring that you receive expert guidance and maximum value from start to finish.
