About Stamp Duty Land Tax

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is generally payable on the purchase or transfer of property or land in the UK where the amount paid is above a certain threshold. In addition most UK land and property transactions must be notified to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) on a Stamp Duty Land Tax return within a certain time limit – even if no tax is due.

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is paid on the value known as the ‘Chargeable Consideration’.
