Buying a property in the UK will often incur Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT in England & Northern Ireland), Land & Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT in Scotland) and Land Transaction Tax (LTT in Wales).

This is a statutory property purchase tax paid to the tax authorities in England, Scotland and Wales upon the acquisition of a UK property. Furthermore, there may also be an Additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS) tax to pay to the tax authorities. ADS usually applies when you are purchasing a property that is additional to your main residential home.

Our Property Tax calculator can help by giving you an estimate of how much property tax you may be liable to pay when making your UK property purchase and should be factored into your overall costs.

Since tax rates and band ranges change fairly regularly, we would advise that, before making any property purchase decision, you consult a UK property tax specialist (accountant and/or solicitor) who should be better able to provide a more accurate property tax assessment for your particular circumstances.
