Rates of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)
From 4th December 2014, the rules regarding stamp duty changed. Under the old rules you would pay stamp duty at a single rate on the entire property price. Now, you will only pay the rate of tax on the part of the property price within each tax band. The new rates are as follows:
| Purchase Price of Property | Rates paid on the part of the property within each tax band |
| £0 - £125,000 | 0% |
| £125,001 - £250,000 | 2% |
| £250,001 - £925,000 | 5% |
| £925,001 - £1,500,000 | 10% |
| £1,500,001 and over | 12% |
From 1st April 2016, there are new rates of stamp duty land tax on second properties. The rates are as follows:
| Purchase Price of Property | Rates paid on the part of the property within each tax band |
