Don't Let STAMP DUTY Catch You Out on Your Next PROPERTY INVESTMENT Purchase

Stamp duty is one of those property costs that can look straightforward until the details of the purchase start to change. In Episode 124, Gareth Morgan breaks down the key property transaction tax considerations investors should understand before committing to a purchase. From the different tax regimes across England, Wales and Scotland to residential, commercial and mixed-use property, additional property surcharges and potential reliefs, this episode highlights why the tax position needs to form part of the numbers from the start. In this episode, Gareth discusses: The difference between Stamp Duty Land Tax in England and Northern Ireland, Land Transaction Tax in Wales and Land and Buildings Transaction Tax in Scotland. Why changes announced for one part of the UK may not apply to a property elsewhere. How residential, commercial and genuinely mixed-use properties can be treated differently. Why a shop with a flat above does not automatically mean a purchase will be treated as mixed use. Additional property surcharges when adding another property to a portfolio. Why investors should check whether any reliefs or exemptions may apply rather than assuming they do. How the tax position can affect cash flow, available capital and the numbers behind an offer. Five questions to consider before committing to a property purchase. If you're a property investor assessing your next purchase, this episode will help you understand the questions you should be asking before you commit and ensure transaction costs are factored into the deal from the outset.
