Stamp Duty - Additional Rate

Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble getting my head around the new stamp duty rules and wondered if anyone could clarify.
I want to buy a home as my main residence and will be selling my current house. I'd like to buy somewhere with my Dad but not sure it's going to be feasible.
My Dad already owns other property. If I wanted to buy a house for £140K and he wanted a 10% share (£14K) would we need to pay the higher rate of stamp duty?
In a different scenario - If I bought the house on my own and then, later on, sold 10% of the house to my Dad - what stamp duty (if any) would need to be paid?
Thanks in advance.

Also, page 8. If the chargeable consideration is £40K or less it seems that the higher rate is not payable. If my Dad has a 10% share which equates to £14K does this mean we don't pay the higher rate, or is the chargeable consideration the whole value of the property? And would this apply if he bought a 10% share off me later down the line?0

Affordability isn't an issues. I earn enough to buy a house of this value on my own and my Dad does too. His age poses a minor issue that we can only have a 19 year term if he buys with me, but that's fine. What issue would him not living in the property pose?0 -

The former. See 3.4.2.

Thanks. So it seems like that option is out as the stamp duty would be too much for it to be worth doing.
Would these same criteria still apply if he buys a 10% stake off me later down the line?
My Dad is planning on retiring at 67. He is currently 56. Nationwide have a maximum age of 75 and my Dad has a few properties that provide rental income and his pension would also probably pass affordability criteria for when he retires.0 -
Is someone having a laugh?
I've never seen so many plans to try to circumnavigate a bit of tax on one board...0
