<p>The new higher rates of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) will apply to the purchase of
additional residential properties and will come into force on 1 April 2016. Work-related
accommodation which is provided and owned by an employer does not count when considering
whether an individual is purchasing an additional property or not. The Government
will shortly consult on the policy design, including on the treatment of particularly
difficult cases, to ensure the change to SDLT is implemented in a fair way.</p>
