There are some words that strike fear in the hearts of property investors. 'Tax' and 'Stamp Duty' are up there with the most terrifying.
And in that world are abbreviations that not only add to the terror but also demonstrate the minefield of complexity that investors have to try and tip-toe their way through safely: SDLT, LBTT, and LTT.
But for every horror there is a haven. And words like 'tax relief' and 'exemptions' help to soothe and comfort.
And for every monster there are heroes to save the day.
He might not have been wearing his cape during our chat today, but Kishan Kavi, the Head of Property Taxes and Head of Tax Investigations at Bonham and Brook, is very much that hero that can help you.
With a highly impressive background in Law, Litigation and Tax, Kishan and has team have been responsible for tax savings running into the multi millions of pounds and growing.
Stamp Duty is a 'self assessment' tax that the buyer is responsible for.
But you don't have to tread through that minefield alone.
While your solicitor is staying in their lane and handling the conveyancing part of your purchases, you should have people like Kishan on your side to review and advise on the costly tax elements for you.
And with 51 different reliefs and exemptions available, Kishan has a host of weapons available to fight off the tax monsters for you.
During the show we touch upon just a few of the reliefs and possible scenarios for savings. You'll hear from Kishan's chat that he has an encyclopedic knowledge of rules and regulations and case law aimed at helping you in your individual scenarios.
