Stamp duty is the tax you pay when purchasing a property above a certain value<\/a> in England and Northern Ireland (slightly different regulations apply in Scotland and Wales). Known officially as stamp duty land tax, or SDLT, everyone involved in house sales \u2013 from vendors and buyers to estate agents and solicitors \u2013 calls it stamp duty, so we’ll stick to that term in this article. Essentially, stamp duty must be paid to HMRC at varying rates, depending on the price of the property you\u2019re buying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In tax terms, the price of the property is known as its \u2018lease premium\u2019 or its \u2018transfer value\u2019. These are slightly technical terms, but what it boils down to is how much you are paying. Any property over \u00a3125,000 is subject to stamp duty. Further thresholds<\/a> exist at \u00a3250,000, \u00a3925,000 and \u00a31.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, stamp duty can constitute a large payment that is required over and above the value of the property and your professional fees. So how can you reduce stamp duty and make sure it doesn\u2019t leave you with an empty pocket?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy a cheaper property<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because houses costing under \u00a3125,000 aren\u2019t subject to stamp duty, the simplest way of avoiding it is to invest in a home that doesn\u2019t meet this threshold. If it\u2019s realistic, try searching for houses which are being marketed for less then \u00a3125,000, although this may mean looking outside of your preferred area. If this price cap isn’t realistic in your area, it\u2019s worth taking the different bands into account anyway when it comes time to make your offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certainly, many estate agents will know that the various thresholds make a big difference to potential buyers and, as a result, few houses are marketed at \u00a3255,000 as this would push it into the second tier of stamp duty. It would be much more likely to see the property marketed at \u00a3249,995 instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, even if it isn’t, then you can always make an offer just beneath the threshold. After all, it is the agreed sales price that stamp duty is calculated on, not the marketed price.

Apply for a stamp duty refund<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In certain circumstances, you can get a refund<\/a> on stamp duty you\u2019ve paid for an additional property if you sell what was previously your main home within a specific timeframe. Although you\u2019ll still have to pay it in the first place, you can rest easy knowing you\u2019ll get this money back in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get stamp duty relief for first time buyers<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a first-time buyer, the stamp duty rules are a little bit more relaxed than they are for people who are moving or buying additional properties. A first time buyer is defined as someone who has never owned and lived in their own property before. If you\u2019re moving out from your rented property or parental home, this is worth knowing about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, all the same rules apply for stamp duty at the higher threshold rates. However, the first threshold at which you need to start paying stamp duty is set at \u00a3300,000 if you\u2019re a first-time buyer. Click here<\/a> for our stamp duty calculator for first-time buyers.

Transfer a property<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One way of obtaining the legal ownership of a house without buying it is to have it transferred to you. Going down this route will mean that you don’t have to worry about stamp duty, but it very much depends on your personal circumstances. If the tax authorities think that you are manipulating the laws around property transferrals specifically to avoid stamp duty, you may find this tax is retrospectively applied and you could even face an investigation for fraud. That said, the law does allow for a shift in legal ownership with a transferral rather than a purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good example is when a house is transferred in a will. If you inherit<\/a> a house, then other taxes (such as inheritance tax) may apply but stamp duty should not. Essentially, when the deeds<\/a> of a property pass to a new owner via a will, it\u2019s not deemed to have been bought or sold, so stamp duty should not apply. The same goes for deed transferrals that are conducted in the form of a gift. So, if you\u2019re lucky enough to have your house gifted to you, you shouldn\u2019t pay stamp duty either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important aspect of stamp duty follows family breakdown. If you\u2019re separating from your partner, or married and planning to divorce, you may want to sell your half of the family home, or transfer a proportion of your share in the house. Sales or transfers that are made from one party to the other are not usually subject to stamp duty.
