Tax Risk for Conveyancers and HMRC Registration

This course provides a practical update on Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) and HMRC compliance for property professionals. It explores increasing HMRC scrutiny, tax adviser registration requirements, and key risk areas for solicitors, including unintended tax advice. Through recent case law and real-world scenarios—such as mixed-use property, usufruct interests, and uninhabitable dwellings—participants will gain clarity on complex SDLT rules and reliefs. The session also highlights regulatory obligations and strategies to mitigate risk, ensuring firms remain compliant while delivering high-quality client service.
