You must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England and Northern Ireland.

You pay the tax when you:

  • buy a freehold property
  • buy a new or existing leasehold
  • buy a property through a shared-ownership scheme
  • are transferred land or property in exchange for payment, e.g. you take on a mortgage or buy a share in a house

How much you pay depends on whether the land or property is:

  • residential and whether you’re a first-time buyer
  • non-residential or mixed use

You can use HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC) Stamp Duty Land Tax calculator to work out how much tax you’ll pay.
