The loophole that allowed people to reduce their stamp duty bill by paying over the odds for fixture’s and fitting’s has been closed. You have to fill in a detailed form and the Inland Revenue makes random checks of cases that fall just below the stamp duty thresholds to check that every thing is in place.
