Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax paid by the buyer of a UK residential property when the purchase price exceeds £125,000. The stamp duty rate ranges from 5% to 12% of the purchase price, depending upon the value of the property bought, the purchase date and whether you are a multiple home owner.
Anyone purchasing an ‘additional’ residential property will be charged a 3% surcharge on each of the threshold bands.
If you are buying to let, as a landlord, you will have to pay SDLT if the income from a short term property let (up to seven years), residential tenancy or lease is above the threshold.
From 1 April 2021, a 2% surcharge was added to each of the rates below for buyers who are non-UK residents. To calculate stamp duty for a non-UK resident, tick the ‘I am a non-UK resident’ box on the calculator above.
