I think you would need to worry about the following extract from the link below:

?Relief is barred where it is reasonable to conclude that the transferor had a main purpose of securing a tax advantage for any person. In the definition of tax advantage, ?tax? refers only to SDLT and not other taxes.?

There may however be another solution that an STPG member could advise you on.
