• Stamp Duty Query

    By keithscott on 14th Jun 2014

    Hello,
    I have agreed to purchase a property from my mother for £249,000. Recent valuations have valued it at £290,000. If HMRC decide to investigate (quite likely I imagine) can they demand that I pay 3% rather than 1% SDLT.

    Thanks
    Keith Scott

    Hi,

    Stamp duty is calculated on the actual purchase price paid, not the value of the property, so as long as all you pay is £249000 (I.e. You don't pay any additional money to your mother or give here anything of money's worth) then you will pay £2490
