Stamp duty relief a public fund?

[naval1234]

Hi All,

Could someone knowledgeable on the Stamp duty tax relief that was announced in the budget todayprovide some light on this?

Is this counted as a public fund/benefit since you would have to claim it back from the govt from what I understand.

I've recently bought a new build house and completion date is in December. Don't want to end up in a situation where I break visa rules.

Not a subject matter expert but I'd be very surprised if SDLT break was considered a benefit for immigration purposes.

Good question though

Hi Naval
Do you have access to public fund anyway?

Hi dan883,

Tier 2 visa holders don't have access to public fund, neither do I.

[dan883]

so why are you worried about the relief then?
If it is from the public fund you will not get it and if it is not a public fund you will get it mate
