England & NI

England & Northern Ireland SDLT (stamp duty) rate

Stamp Duty Land Tax (most people just call it ‘stamp duty’) is calculated in ‘bands’, which means you pay different rates on different ‘portions’ of the property price. Until 31 March 2021, there’s a stamp duty cut for main homes up to £500,000.

Here’s an example for a property worth £650,000:

You’ll pay 0% on the first £500,000 = £0
Then 5% on the next £150,000 = £7,500

Total stamp duty = £7,500

Property price	Stamp duty rate
Up to £250,000	0%
£250,001 – £925,000	5%
£925,001 – £1.5 million	10%
£1.5 million and above	12%
