SDLT: Where are we now?
SPONSORED: Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax charged by HMRC on land and property purchases in England and Northern Ireland. SDLT is levied as a percentage of the property and land purchase price. However, the SDLT rates vary depending on many factors, for example the property’s purpose and the purchaser’s ownership status. The rates and exemption thresholds are different for first-time buyers purchasing residential property.
