Estimate Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) on a residential property purchase in England and Northern Ireland.

Property price

Purchaser

Purchase situation

Non-UK resident for SDLT purposes (+2%)The SDLT residence test is a specific tax test and is not simply nationality, citizenship or visa status. The 2% surcharge normally applies where the transaction is treated as non-resident for SDLT purposes. Different rules apply to joint purchasers, spouses/civil partners and companies. If unsure, confirm with the conveyancer.

First-Time Buyers' Relief is available only where all purchasers qualify as first-time buyers, intend to occupy the property as their only or main residence, and the purchase price does not exceed £500,000.

A person generally does not qualify as a first-time buyer if they have previously acquired a residential property anywhere in the world, including through inheritance or gift. For joint purchases, all purchasers must qualify.

Important: This calculator provides an estimate of Stamp Duty Land Tax for residential property purchases in England and Northern Ireland using rates effective from 1 April 2025. Scotland uses Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) and Wales uses Land Transaction Tax (LTT); this calculator does not calculate those taxes. SDLT rules can depend on individual circumstances. Special rules may apply to companies, trusts, partnerships, shared ownership, linked transactions, leases, mixed-use property, multiple-property transactions, transfers of equity and other reliefs or exemptions. Multiple Dwellings Relief is not calculated (abolished for most transactions completing on or after 1 June 2024, subject to transitional rules). Confirm the final SDLT liability with a solicitor, conveyancer, tax adviser or HMRC.
