Land Transaction Tax (LTT) is paid at different rates, depending on the band the purchase price falls into. For example, someone buying a property for £280,000 would pay no tax on the value of the property up to £180,000, 3.5% tax on the property value between £180,001 and £250,000 and 5% on the property value between £250,001 and £280,000. In this case, total liability for Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LTT) would be £3,950 giving an effective tax rate of 1.41% (average percentage rate of tax paid).
Anyone buying a second home including a buy to let property will pay an extra 3% on top of the relevant standard rate band. In this example that would represent an extra £8,400, meaning the total stamp duty would be £12,350 giving an effective tax rate of 4.41%.
