This planning has been examined in detail by Tax Counsel, a suitably qualified and experienced barrister based in London. He's confirmed in writing the planning is legal. For your total reassurance, the mere fact of taking Counsel's opinion means you cannot be committing tax fraud.

Over the last six years, more than 1,000 property purchasers legally avoided paying Stamp Duty, saving millions of pounds in the process. In that time, there have been questions raised by HMRC, but to date, it hasn't formally issued a single enquiry.

The fee is 1.5% including VAT. It's reduced for purchases over £5 million.

Even though every case to date has been successful, to protect the majority of your fee, it's split. £3,000 is allocated to enter the planning. The balance is deposited in escrow with your solicitor. It's paid 10 months after completion, only on success of the planning. Success is deemed to be closure of HMRC's 10 month enquiry window without challenge or successfully winning a challenge made within the enquiry window.

In the event of an unsuccessful defence of an enquiry, you'll receive a full refund of the money in escrow to pay the Stamp Duty. You'll have paid just £3,000 and an amount of interest at official rates, which today are surprisingly low, calculated from the completion date of the purchase to the actual date you pay the Stamp Duty.

Tax consultants take full responsibility for the whole transaction, providing you with the following services:

• Give advice on planning for which they hold the Tax Counsel's opinion
• Defend an enquiry from HMRC
• Take responsibility for the tax advice under their professional indemnity insurance
• Work with the conveyancing solicitor at each step of the process
• Coordinate all the third parties required to successfully deploy the planning

The first step is to register your interest by completing the enquiry form below. After a short conversation to discuss your purchase, if you wish to pursue the tax planning, you'll be sent an engagement letter and an advice letter. The advice letter outlines the planning in more detail and answers any questions you may have. If you wish to proceed, you sign and return the engagement letter with your fee. Until this point, it will have cost you nothing and you'll be under no obligation whatsoever.

HMRC has a 10 month window to mount an enquiry. Whilst HMRC has asked many questions over the years, it has stopped short of challenging the planning. Arguably, it's concerned that if it fails in its attempt to prove the planning is flawed, it effectively endorses it, and that could open up a flood of applications which is the last thing it wants to happen. The net result is that HMRC appears sufficiently relaxed to let cases go through unchallenged. To limit the flow and preserve the opportunity for the future, this planning is restricted to purchases of £500,000 or more.

Tax planning is not for everyone. If you have a nervous disposition, you're relatively unsophisticated in your tax affairs, or you hold strong views about the morality of tax planning, you're almost certainly best advised not to proceed. But if you are, or have been used to taking measured risk and judging this against likely returns, then this planning is definitely worth considering.

If you wish to discuss this Stamp Duty mitigation, without cost or obligation, please complete the enquiry form below and we'll be in touch to discuss your proposed property purchase. Please only contact us if you're buying now and you have at least ten days until completion.

PS Remember, this planning is 100% legal, it's been 100% successful over many years and it avoids 100% of the Stamp Duty you'll pay on your purchase. It saves you £12,500 if you're spending £500,000 on your property and much, much more on higher value purchases, with no upper limit. Fill in the above form today to see how much you could save.
