Its recently came to light that the stamp duty on a relatives site was never paid!
The site was purchased in 1994 for £5,000. Their house was then built on the site. But stamp duty somehow was never paid. Now they are selling and its been discovered the stamp duty was never paid.
Correct me if Im wrong but there's no stamp duty on a site for under 10k? Does anybody know when this was introduced, would the penalty be calculated up to this point?
So my questions are:
1-What would the stamp duty have been at the time?
2-What would the maximum penalty be?
3-What would solicitors fees be (roughly)?
4-Any inputs anyone has
I know its a messy situation so any constructive help is much appreciated
Cheers
