Stamp duty when owning holiday home overseas
Posted: October 22nd, 2018, 1:41 pm
We rent our primary home in the UK, however own a holiday property in Europe.
Am I right in thinking, that based on current regulations, if we were to buy a property in the UK we would need to pay the additional stamp duty as it would be deemed a second property?
Could I just transfer ownership or gift the holiday home (to my child for example) in order to remove the additional duty?
