Q

What are the SDLT rates

A

Freehold sales and transfers;
0% = up to £150k
2% = Next £150,001 to £250k
5% = above £250,000

New Leasehold sales and transfers:

0% = £0 - £150k
1% = 150.001 - £5m
2% = £5m and above

SDLT is paid on:
- purchase price of lease (Premium)
- Value of the annual rent (NPV)
NPV is calculated on total rent over the life of the lease. If NPV is less than £150k you don’t pay on that element.
