The following calculator and commentary is for general interest only and must not be relied upon, nor is it intended to constitute advice. The calculator may not be up to date or complete and relates only to certain types of property in England or Wales.
If you’re buying non-residential property in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland, chances are that you’ll be required to pay stamp duty land tax (SDLT) to Inland Revenue. This tax is applicable to property transactions over ÂŁ150,000, whether it’s a freehold, new leasehold, or existing leasehold property.
Non-residential property can defined as any type of commercial property, from offices, warehouses, factories, agricultural land, garages and workshops, forests, mixed-use spaces, and residential property with more than 1 unit.
Under the current system, stamp duty rates depend on the price of the property. You’ll pay a percentage only on the portion of the property price that falls within each specified price threshold.
For example, let’s say you’re buying a freehold retail space for ÂŁ320,000. You won’t pay anything on the first ÂŁ150,000, 2% on ÂŁ150,001 to ÂŁ250,000, and 5% on the amount above ÂŁ250,001. In short, the total stamp duty payable would be ÂŁ5,500.
When buying non-residential property over a certain price, it’s crucial that you pay stamp duty to HMRC within 30 days from the date of completion, or you could face a fine.
