Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) must be paid within 14 days of completion. This calculator reflects rates for England and Northern Ireland as of April 2025. Different taxes apply in Scotland (LBTT) and Wales (LTT).
First-time buyers pay no SDLT on the first £300,000 and 5% on the portion from £300,001 to £500,000. If the property costs more than £500,000, standard rates apply to the entire purchase.
When buying an additional property (e.g., a second home or buy-to-let), you'll pay an extra 5% in Stamp Duty on top of the standard rates. This applies if you'll own more than one property at the end of the transaction day.
If you're replacing your main residence but haven't yet sold your previous home, you may be able to claim a refund of the extra 5% if you sell your previous main home within 36 months.
Non-UK residents pay an additional 2% surcharge on top of all other applicable rates. This applies if you spent fewer than 183 days in the UK in the 12 months before the purchase.
Companies purchasing residential property pay a 17% flat rate if the property costs over £500,000 and will be used personally (not for rental or business). For business use, companies generally pay the standard rates plus the 5% additional property surcharge.
Non-residential and mixed-use property purchases are taxed at different rates: 0% up to £150,000, 2% from £150,001 to £250,000, and 5% above £250,000.
