Devolved UK Property Tax Framework

1. How does Scottish LBTT differ from English SDLT?

Under the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (Scotland) Act 2013, Scotland replaced Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) with LBTT. Scottish rates for primary homes are progressive:

  • Up to £145,000: 0% (extended to £175,000 for qualifying first-time buyers).
  • £145,001 to £250,000: 2.0%
  • £250,001 to £325,000: 5.0%
  • £325,001 to £750,000: 10.0%
  • Over £750,000: 12.0%
  • Additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS): In Scotland, second home and buy-to-let purchases are hit with a substantial 6.0% surcharge on the entire purchase price.

2. How does Welsh Land Transaction Tax (LTT) work?

In Wales, the Welsh Revenue Authority administers the Land Transaction Tax (LTT). For a main residence:

  • Up to £225,000: 0% tax (the highest zero-rate threshold in Great Britain!).
  • £225,001 to £400,000: 6.0%
  • £400,001 to £750,000: 7.5%
  • £750,001 to £1,500,000: 10.0%
  • Over £1,500,000: 12.0%
  • For additional residential properties, higher residential rates apply with a 4.0% surcharge.
