If you've purchased or transferred UK property, you may find yourself facing the obligation to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). We understand that completing SDLT returns can be a complex and time-consuming task. That's why our team of dedicated experts is here to help.
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is applicable to any acquisition of land or buildings in England and Northern Ireland, regardless of the buyer's residency status. Whether the buyer is a UK resident or not, SDLT is chargeable on the purchase of property in these regions.
SDLT is applicable when the purchase price or property value surpasses a specific threshold. This threshold marks the point at which SDLT becomes payable. If you buy a property for less than the threshold, there’s no SDLT to pay.
The deadline for filing SDLT return is within 14 days of the effective date, which is usually the completion date. The payment is also the same as for the SDLT return and any delays may lead to penalties and interest being imposed.
SDLT rates are variable and depend on the property’s value, with different bands in the UK. The rate you pay is determined by the portion of the property price within each band. Additional rates may apply for specific situations, such as buying a second property.
There are some exemptions and reliefs available that could reduce the amount of SDLT you need to pay. SDLT includes First-Time Buyers Relief, Multiple Dwellings Relief, 3% SDLT Surcharge Refund, etc. and certain property transactions like gifts and transfers between spouses/civil partners are exempt.
