Reasons for
overpayment.

Stamp duty land tax involves navigating a complex landscape of legislation, complete with ever-changing rules and rates. The amount you’re required to pay hinges on several factors, including property value, prevailing rates, and the buyer’s position.

The intricacies of stamp duty land tax contribute to numerous potential reasons for incorrect payments. This can stem from errors in calculations made by the conveyancer, relying solely on HMRC’s stamp duty land tax calculator, overlooking the property’s condition, or neglecting the buyer’s circumstances.
