In England and Northern Ireland, SDLT (Stamp Duty Land Tax) rates for residential properties are 0% up to £125,000; 2% on the next £125,000-£250,000; 5% on the remaining £150,000-£400,000; 10% between £925,000 and £1.5 million; and 12% for anything over £1.5 million. For example, a £400,000 purchase would incur a total SDLT of £10,000.

Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT) are two taxes that can apply to transfers of shares or securities in the United Kingdom. Stamp Duty is a tax on legal documents related to the transfer of shares or securities, while SDRT applies specifically to electronic transfers. Both taxes serve similar purposes and generally have a rate of 0.5%, however, higher rates may apply in certain cases and some transactions are exempt from SDRT.

If you think that you may be eligible for an SDLT refund, it is important to claim the refund within 12 months of the filing date of the original return or sale of your main residence. This could be due to overpayment on a return due to an error made by yourself, being eligible for Multiple Dwellings Relief (MDR) when buying multiple residential properties, higher rates of SDLT paid for an additional property before selling your previous one, or if you bought a property including an annex that meets certain criteria.

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax paid to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the UK within 14 days of completing a property transaction. Penalties, interest charges and late payment penalties can occur if the tax is not paid on time. The amount of these penalties vary depending on how late the payment is made. It is important to keep up with payments to ensure that your property transaction goes through without issue.
