- Stamp duty is tiered, meaning that you pay different rates on different portions of the property price. You'll also pay different rates depending on whether you're a first-time buyer, home mover or buying a buy-to-let, second or holiday home.

Stamp duty is a tax that's charged when you buy a property in the UK, but you'll only need to pay it if the price of that property reaches a certain threshold. Our stamp duty calculator below shows you just how much you'll need to pay.

- How and when to pay
The threshold is where SDLT starts to apply. If you buy a property for less than the threshold, there’s no SDLT to pay.
The current SDLT thresholds are:
•£250,000 for residential properties
•£425,000 for first-time buyers buying a residential property worth £625,000 or less
•£150,000 for non-residential land and properties
There were different thresholds and rates for residential properties before 23 September 2022.
How much you pay depends on:
•whether the land or property will be used as a residential property or as a non-residential or mixed-use property
•whether you are eligible for relief or an exemption
For example, if you’re buying a residential property there are different rates of SDLT if:
•you’re a first-time buyer
•you already own a property and you’re buying an additional property
The total value you pay SDLT on (sometimes called the ‘consideration’) is usually the price you pay for the property or land.
Sometimes it might include another type of payment like:
•goods
•works or services
•release from a debt
•transfer of a debt, including the value of any outstanding mortgage
Send an SDLT return to HMRC and pay the tax within 14 days of completion.
If you have a solicitor, agent or conveyancer, they’ll usually file your return and pay the tax on your behalf on the day of completion. They’ll then add the tax to their fees.
If they do not do this for you, you can file a return and pay the tax yourself.
You may be charged penalties and interest if you do not file your return and make your payment within 14 days of completion.
