How Stamp Duty Is Calculated on a £675,000 Property
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) in England and Northern Ireland is a progressive tax, which means different portions of the property price are taxed at different rates. Unlike a flat tax, you do not pay the highest rate on the entire purchase price. Instead, each band applies only to the slice of the price within that band.
For a home mover purchasing at £675,000, the SDLT of £23,750 represents an effective tax rate of 3.5%. This means for every pound of the purchase price, you are effectively paying 3.5% in stamp duty on average.
Additional property buyers, such as those purchasing buy-to-let investments or second homes, face a 5% surcharge on every band. This means they pay SDLT from the very first pound of the purchase price. On a £675,000 property, this adds £33,750 to the standard stamp duty bill.
