COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Does the whole UK use Stamp Duty Land Tax?

No. England and Northern Ireland use SDLT, Scotland uses LBTT and Wales uses LTT.

Do first-time buyers get relief everywhere?

The rules differ by nation. England and Northern Ireland have First-Time Buyers’ Relief, Scotland has first-time buyer LBTT relief, and Wales does not use a separate first-time buyer LTT rate in this calculator.

Is there extra tax on an additional property?

Common additional-property rules are supported, but eligibility can be complex. Check the relevant tax authority guidance for your circumstances.

Is this a tax return calculation?

No. It is an estimate for common residential purchases and does not cover every relief, company, trust, linked transaction, lease or mixed-use case.
