WHAT IS STAMP DUTY LAND TAX?

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a progressive tax paid when purchasing leasehold, freehold, or shared ownership real estate over £125,000 in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales. In Scotland it is called Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT).

WHO PAYS STAMP DUTY?

Everyone who purchases a property in the UK whether residential or non-residential, pays stamp duty land tax. This includes corporate bodies, overseas citizens, and non-natural persons.

WHY WAS A STAMP DUTY HOLIDAY ANNOUNCED?

In April 2020, the Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) started at 3% for homes valued from £125,000 up to 15% for houses valued at over £1.5 million. On the 8th of July 2020, a temporary stamp duty holiday was announced to support the housing market amidst COVID-19 and Brexit discussions. The result was flourishing property price growth and a surge of new activity with renewed investor confidence.

WHEN IS STAMP DUTY PAID?

Stamp duty is payable to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) 14 days from the date of completion or late penalties apply. At IP Global, your solicitor will take care of this and make sure the deadline isn’t missed.

HOW DO I REDUCE STAMP DUTY TAX?

Stamp duty tax is only payable on your property’s permanent building fixtures. This means that removable fixtures and fittings such as fridges, sofas, freestanding wardrobes, curtains, and carpets are not subject to the SDLT tax. You can therefore subtract these items from the total property price.
