Changes to UK Stamp Duty Levels

George Osborne

In the UK autumn statement last Wednesday, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne announced new changes to UK stamp duty levels, and introduced a levy of 12% tax on the value of property over £1,500,000. There has since been plenty of speculation this might impact on the wider appeal of London to wealth creators and business owners.

We’re confident London will never lose its appeal to the wider international business community. From London it’s possible for you to do business with the Far East in the morning, and the US that afternoon. You can jump on a private jet in London and be at a meeting in any one of Europe’s business hubs such as Frankfurt, Paris, Moscow and Zurich in a matter of hours.

The world is so accessible when you fly from London on a private jet – let us help you save time and improve your business efficiency by looking after all of your flight requirements.

Please contact us with your enquiry, and one of our London based charter team will be in touch to discuss how we can help.
