Bear with me on this, Stamp Duty is REALLY not my thing...
We have a client operating as a LLP and also as a partnership (2 seperate partnerships with the same 2 partners). They each own a few investment properties which they want to transfer to a Ltd company (which they control).
My initial knee jerk reaction is that this would have to be at MV as it is a related party transaction. Therefore SDLT would be payable on the MV.
I've been told by a solicitor that this isn't the case and in fact SDLT can be avoided, I assume by transfering at a lower value, but he was sketchy on the further details.
Is there a special rule I am unaware of?
