What is Stamp Duty?

What it is

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax paid to HMRC when you buy a property in England or Northern Ireland over the nil-rate threshold.

When you pay

Your solicitor collects SDLT at completion and submits it to HMRC within 14 days. It is due on the date of completion, not exchange.

First-time buyers

If you've never owned a home, you pay no SDLT on the first £300,000. This relief applies to properties up to £500,000.
