Stamp Duty and Land Tax

You must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The current SDLT threshold is £125,000 for residential properties and £150,000 for non-residential land and properties. You must send an SDLT return to HMRC and pay the tax within 30 days of completion. If you have a solicitor or agent they’ll usually file your return and pay the tax on your behalf on the day of completion and add the amount to their fees.
