Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is generally payable on the purchase or transfer of property or land in the UK where the amount paid is above a certain threshold. In addition most UK land and property transactions must be notified to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) on a Stamp Duty Land Tax return within a certain time limit - even if no tax is due.

Various rules apply for working out how much, if any, SDLT is payable. The calculation - which is based on a value called the 'chargeable consideration' - can vary depending on whether the land is residential or non-residential, freehold or leasehold, or on other factors such as whether several transactions are linked.

There are also some types of transactions that are exempt from SDLT, or where reliefs can reduce the amount payable.

Broadly speaking, SDLT is charged as a percentage of the amount paid for property or land when it is bought or transferred - unless there is a relief or exemption.

Higher percentage SDLT rates apply to higher-value transactions. The amount payable can also vary depending whether the property is being used for residential or non-residential 
purposes, and whether the property is sold as a freehold or leasehold.
