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>
