Stamp Duty Calculator
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax which is payable if you buy property or land in excess of the government designated price band within England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This is subject to change during the budget but currently, for residential property the present threshold at which SDLT becomes payable is £125,000 and for non-residential property and land, the SDLT threshold is £150,000
SDLT is payable when you:-
-
Buy a freehold property
-
Buy and existing or new leasehold property
-
Buy a property through a shared ownership scheme
-
Transfer land or property in exchange for payment e.g. you take on a mortgage or buy a share of a property
