买房1年了，最近收到这家律师的来信，说是stamp duty可以claim回来2/3，原因是房子有加建granny annex，可以multi dwelling relief. 律师费是拿回来sdlt减免回来费用的20%。
大家有碰到过类似的情形么？不知道这样靠谱不。Sounds too good to be true. 请各位大牛指教，谢谢先。
附上律师来信和房产结构图
我也不懂。但是上网搜了一下，确实你律师说得对吧。我也涨知识了。以前我也见过个带annex的房子挺喜欢呢，不知道还有这回事。
关于SDLT relief for multiple dwellings：
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/stamp-duty-land-tax-relief-for-land-or-property-transactions
Example
You buy 5 houses for £1 million.
£1 million divided by 5 is £200,000.
The amount of SDLT you pay on £200,000 is £1,500 (0% of £125,000 + 2% of £75,000).
£1,500 multiplied by 5 is £7,500.
But that’s less than 1% of £1 million, which is £10,000. The amount of tax you pay is £10,000.
然后granny annex好像是算multiple dwellings 的。看这里的例子：
http://www.macintyrehudson.co.uk/blog-post/sdlt-have-your-clients-paid-too-much
So while the purchase of a £1.5m property would attract SDLT of £93,750 under the new rules (£75,000 under the old), if the property is found to have an annex the multiple dwellings principle can be applied reducing the SDLT to £55,000.
你自己可以算一下。把房价除以二。当每部分房价。算一个部分的stamp duty。然后乘以2. 这貌似是你应该付的stamp duty。肯定会比整体算要沾光。
如果是multiple dwellings，那以后是不是需要付multiple council tax啊？
应该是，这样counciln tax会贵很多，如果出租的话还行，不然还不如多交点stamp duty少交council tax好。如果不像被视为seperate dwelling，最好的办法就是把厨房拆掉。
这信看着不合理啊，如果楼主是通过这个律师买的房子，为什么律师不知道你的名字呢？ 信件开头连个名字都没有，就一个Dear… 和诈骗信件一个类型嘛:o
楼主屏蔽了呀！
这P的毫无痕迹，看来楼主是P图高手:lol
