This measure changes the rules for calculating the SDLT charged on purchases of residential properties. At present SDLT is charged at a single percentage of the price paid for the property, depending on the rate band within which the purchase price falls.
From 4 December 2014, SDLT will be charged at each rate on the portion of the purchase price which falls within each rate band.
A draft legislation for this measure has been published at Draft legislation: Stamp Duty Land Tax - reform of structure, rates and threshold.
