answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2017 answer text <p>The rates and structure of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is set out in the below table. There are higher rates of SDLT for the purchase of additional residential properties. The higher rates are 3 percentage points above the standard SDLT rates and the latest HM Revenue and Customs data indicates that the revenue generated from the higher rates will exceed what was originally forecast when the policy was announced. An individual purchasing their first property will be subject to the standard rates of SDLT. As with all taxes, the Government keeps the SDLT regime under review.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Purchase price of property</p></td><td><p>Standard rate paid on portion of price within each band</p></td><td><p>Higher rates paid on portion of price within each band</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Up to £125,000</p></td><td><p>0%</p></td><td><p>3%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Over £125,000 and up to £250,000</p></td><td><p>2%</p></td><td><p>5%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Over £250,000 and up to £925,000</p></td><td><p>5%</p></td><td><p>8%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Over £925,000 and up to £1,500,000</p></td><td><p>10%</p></td><td><p>13%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Over £1,500,000</p></td><td><p>12%</p></td><td><p>15%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 22/03/2017 14:25:05 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
