Unparalleled understanding of anti-avoidance laws

Frequently asked questions

Please find below a selection of questions – and answers – that we most frequently attend to.


What is a tax avoidance scheme?

A tax avoidance scheme in the property sector is one where you introduce elements that are artificial to the transaction. That’s to be distinguished from a tax planning scheme where you rearrange a transaction to optimise its outcome.

What is efficient property tax planning?

Specifically, this is advising on appropriate structures, including the timing of transactions to ensure that the tax is managed effectively. Typically, this type of planning is low to medium risk, in terms of HMRC challenging you on your property tax affairs.

I have received a letter from HMRC enquiring about my tax affairs, what should I do?

Don’t do nothing! Contact Goldstone today and we will be happy to discuss your circumstances, in absolute confidentiality, and give you an outline of how we can help you. You would be surprised how many cases we’re able to overturn and close because of our unparalleled knowledge of property tax law.

Will I have to go to court?

We are able to resolve some cases through written correspondence, but we’re fully equipped to be able to take your case and defend it in a tribunal if it’s required.

Can I run my circumstances past you?

Absolutely, it’s always worth picking up the phone and talking to us. We’ll happily discuss your circumstances and let you know if we feel you have a chance of overturning an allegation.

Do you offer pre-transactional advice?

Yes, our sister-division, SDLT Refunds offers pre and post transactions SDLT advise – often saving our clients thousands of pounds.

How much do you charge?

Our consultants charge by the hour, depending on the seniority of the staff involved, as is the case with most investigation firms. Typically we will be able to give a client an estimate on what the total cost will be based on where and when we close the enquiry.

Don’t suffer in silence

Very often we find opportunities to resolve and close cases that have been bewildering clients and their solicitors.
