Buyer type
Check which buyer type applies

Every buyer normally needs to have never owned a residential property anywhere in the world. England and Northern Ireland withdraw relief above £500,000; Scotland offers up to £600 relief; Wales has no separate first-time rate.

Advanced settingsResidency surcharge

The SDLT residence test is transaction-specific and can differ from your normal UK tax residence.

Method

How this calculation works

The purchase price is split across the marginal bands for the selected nation and buyer type. Additional-property rules use the correct regional mechanism: higher bands in England and Wales, or Scotland's flat Additional Dwelling Supplement on top of LBTT.
