Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) must be paid to HM Revenue and Customs when buying a residential property or land over a certain price in England and Northern Ireland.
Stamp Duty rates are calculated using a tiered banding system whereby a certain percentage is due on the amount of the property value within each band. Since April 2016 a higher rate of SDLT is applied to certain purchases, eg second-homes, resulting in a 3% higher rate across all bands.
An incentive to help First-Time Buyers (including purchases made under a Shared-Ownership scheme) applies so that purchases up to £425,000 attract zero SDLT and purchases between £425,000 and £625,000 receive a £8,750 SDLT discount. (The SDLT on First-Time purchases above £625,000 remains unchanged).
Calculator updated 31 October 2024 to reflect the budget changes to the Higher Rate of SDLT.
