英税有方法|误买烂屋交足税 业主有机会「退回」3%印花税 这次笔者就先说一下特定情况下退回土地印花税(Stamp Duty Land Tax)的方法。

持有多个物业需支付额外3%印花税

英国房屋政策虽然与香港不尽相同,但假如个人或公司名义持有多过一个物业,政府都有类似「辣招」的税收,幸好英国在方面的税收没香港那么高,购买者只需要支付房价的3%作为额外土地印花税。

退回额外印花税两个方法

一,如果你在3年内出售主要住所,也可以申请退还这额外3%土地印花税。根据规定,如果您在购买新的主要住所后的36个月内出售原有主要住所,你有资格申请退还额外支付的3%土地印花税。

二,新的这一间屋「不再适合作为住宅」。你需要向英国税务海关部HMRC证明这一间屋「不再适合作为住宅」,这才可以退回这额外3%土地印花税支出。

物业需要符合「破败」条件

或许读者会有疑问,购买者已为物业签约,购买过程经过律师楼仔细查证,做了资料搜集,亦可能经过测量师检查物业,之后才付钱及完成交易,经过如此多关卡后,眼前明明白白便是一间住宅,如何向政府申报说这间住宅是「不适合作为住宅」呢?你需要证明这个物业是处于「破败」的状态。

为「破败」物业交这额外3%土地印花税等同「交错税」,如果你的物业属于「破败」状态,被认为是「不适合作为住宅」,由于根本无法居住,所以在法律上你所购入的就不算是「住宅」,属于「非住宅物业」,而非住宅物业没有要求交这额外3%土地印花税,那么购买者当初买这个物业时如交了这额外3%土地印花税就等如「交错税」,因为交税的条件并不成立。这样你就可以申请退回这3%土地印花税。

听起来有点取巧,但现实是有可能的,且已有许多案例实证。事实上,若干法庭案例已说明只要物业是不适合作住宅居住,它会被归类为非住宅物业。笔者就曾经为一名不幸买了「破败物业的香港业主,成功申请退回土地印花税。

「破败」退税在近年引起争议

不过,其实这个退回税项的方式早几年开始受质疑,有声音认为这个做法有利于购买者。话说在2019年,Bewley先生购买了一间屋及土地,这间屋里面没有锅炉及供暖设备,且物业周遭都有石棉,他向HMRC交了一份税务申报后,Bewley获得批准将物业拆除重建,于是就跟太太拆了这旧屋,并建造了一间新屋。争议点就在于Bewley持有多过一个物业,却无需支付这额外3%土地印花税税项。
