A surcharge applies for all three taxes where an additional residential property interest is purchased for more than £40,000 (unless replacing a main residence). It is also payable by all corporate purchasers. The rate is 5% (SDLT) and 8% (LBTT) of the total purchase price. LTT has specific higher rates in bandings: up to 180k: 5%, 180 - 250k: 8.5%, 250 - 400k: 10%, 400 - 750k: 12.5%, 750-1,500k: 15%, >1,500k: 17%.

For SDLT:

– First-time buyers purchasing a property of up to £500,000 pay a nil rate on the first £300,000 of the purchase price.

– A 2% supplement applies where the property is bought by certain non-UK residents.

– A rate of 17% may apply to the total purchase price, where the property is valued above £500,000 and purchased by a ‘non-natural person’ (e.g. a company).

For LBTT, first-time buyer relief increases the nil rate band to £175,000.
