Comprehensive Support for Property Tax Efficiency
Other Property taxes
While VAT is our core focus, many of the projects we advise on also involve other complex areas of property taxation — particularly Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) and Capital Allowances.
At Landmark PT, we use our understanding of construction and property to identify wider tax opportunities and risks early on. Although we don’t directly advise on these taxes, we work closely with a network of specialist consultants, accountants, and surveyors who are recognised experts in these fields. Together, we ensure our clients receive joined-up, practical and commercially effective tax solutions.
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)
Stamp Duty Land Tax applies to most property purchases in England and Northern Ireland (with equivalent regimes in Scotland and Wales).
SDLT has become one of the most frequently changing and complex areas of property taxation. The rate you pay can depend on subtle factors such as:
How the property is used — residential, commercial, or mixed-use.
Whether there are annexes, land, or outbuildings involved.
The type of purchaser — private, investor, or company.
These nuances mean that SDLT is often miscalculated or overpaid, particularly in transactions involving land, multiple dwellings, or change of use.
We can review your project or transaction to identify potential savings and — where appropriate — connect you with specialist SDLT advisers who can assess and process refund claims or advise on structuring future purchases more efficiently.
Capital Allowances
Capital allowances are a valuable form of tax relief for businesses investing in property, plant, or equipment. They reduce taxable profits and can generate substantial cash savings — particularly where qualifying expenditure has been overlooked.
Many property owners and developers under-claim capital allowances simply because they lack the construction detail needed to identify qualifying assets.
At Landmark PT, we bring our construction and project expertise to help clients and their advisers recognise where allowances may exist and to coordinate the information required for a full and accurate claim.
We work alongside specialist capital allowances consultants who can prepare detailed claims and negotiate with HMRC and the Valuation Office when required — ensuring the best possible outcome while maintaining full compliance.
Our Role
Our role is to:
Spot opportunities for SDLT reclaims or capital allowances claims during VAT or project reviews.
Introduce you to trusted, independent specialists with a proven track record.
Work collaboratively to ensure a seamless and coordinated approach across all areas of property taxation.
By engaging Landmark PT, you gain access not only to our VAT expertise but also to a network of highly experienced professionals in related tax disciplines.
