What is Stamp Duty Land Tax?

Stamp Duty Land Tax is a progressive tax that is paid by the buyer and applied to the purchase of land, residential homes and commercial property in England and Northern Ireland.

The amount of Stamp Duty Land Tax payable is usually calculated on increasing portions of the property price, also known as the chargeable consideration. The final amount due can vary depending on the purchase price, the type of property or land being bought, and the individual circumstances of the buyer.

The current standard residential SDLT rates are:

  • Up to £125,000 – 0%
  • The next £125,000 (the portion from £125,001 to £250,000) – 2%
  • The next £675,000 (the portion from £250,001 to £925,000) – 5%
  • The next £575,000 (the portion from £925,001 to £1.5 million) – 10%
  • The remaining amount (the portion above £1.5 million) – 12%

If you are currently purchasing or planning to purchase land or property and you are unsure about your individual SDLT circumstances, SMH stamp duty land tax advisors are on hand to navigate the SDLT rules, identify reliefs, and avoid overpayments.

What is the role of a Stamp Duty Land Tax specialist?

A Stamp Duty Land Tax advisor provides clear, expert guidance on the SDLT position of property and land transactions, helping clients understand what tax may be due, whether any reliefs apply, and how to avoid unnecessary risk or overpayment.

At SMH Group, our SDLT specialists review the details of each transaction carefully, identify any complexities, and provide practical advice before the SDLT return is submitted. This support can be particularly valuable where a purchase involves mixed-use property, multiple dwellings, linked transactions, company purchases, partnerships, trusts, transfers of equity, or higher-rate rules.

Our Stamp Duty advisors can also help after completion. If you have purchased a property in previous years, our team can conduct retrospective reviews to help identify whether a repayment claim may be available
