[SALE, 26/02/2018] -- Stamp Calculator is an online resource helping visitors calculate their stamp duty land tax (SDLT) with ease. As stamp duty in Scotland differs to the SDLT in the rest of the UK, Stamp Calculator presents additional information on the rates. SDLT is only applicable to England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Land and Buildings Transaction Tax
In Scotland, SDLT is known as Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT), which is dependent on the purchase price of the property. According to Stamp Calculator, stamp duty in Scotland is zero for properties costing less than £145,000.
The stamp duty increases to:
• 2% for properties that cost between £145,000 to £250,000
• 5% for properties that cost between £250,000 to £325,000
• 10% for properties that cost between £325,000 to £750,000
• 12% for properties that cost more than £750,000
The LBTT also includes an Additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS), which carries an additional surcharge for every additional property purchased. The surcharge is on a slider scale, starting at 3% for properties below £145,000, increasing with each new price bracket. At higher property prices, it goes up to 5%, 8%, 13% and 15%.
