Stamp Duty Land Tax – The New Law, published by Jordans in their New Law series, is written by Reg Nock of 24 Old Buildings, an acknowledged authority on the previous stamp duty regime.

Although fundamentally different from stamp duty, any successful guide to the new system for the majority of practitioners can only be made in the context of this previous familiar one. Accordingly, it should be of considerable comfort to practitioners in the brave new world of self-assessed stamp duty land tax (SDLT) that such an acknowledged authority has provided a thorough analysis of the fundamentals of the new regime.
