Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) applies to property purchases in England and Northern Ireland. Scotland has its own equivalent — Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT), administered by Revenue Scotland — and Wales uses Land Transaction Tax (LTT), collected by the Welsh Revenue Authority. All three are progressive taxes: you pay each rate only on the portion of the purchase price falling within that band, not on the whole amount. Rates shown are for residential freehold purchases by UK residents. Non-residential, mixed-use, and company purchases are subject to different rules. This calculator is for guidance only — your solicitor will confirm the exact figure due.
