James, I think that the future of SDLT mitigation lies in bespoke planning with the advice given by an adviser who can cover the other potential direct tax and VAT consequences. I’m afraid that I can’t agree that the tax is “pretty clear” – it’s badly drafted and in parts far too complex and has a general anit-avoidance rule which raises more questions than it answers.
