Who is it for?
Everyone
How does it work?
A temporary increase to the Nil Rate Band of Residential SDLT (Stamp Duty) from £125,000 to £500,000 until 31 March 2021.
The 3% surcharge still applies for the purchase of additional dwellings and the portion between £500,001 and £925,000 will still be taxed at 5% (for those not affected by the surcharge).
