Frequently Asked Questions
Do you pay stamp duty when selling a house?
No. Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is paid by the buyer, not the seller. When you sell a property, you do not owe any stamp duty on the sale.
What tax do I pay when selling a house?
As a seller, the main tax to consider is Capital Gains Tax (CGT), not stamp duty. If the property was your main home for the whole time you owned it, Private Residence Relief usually means no CGT. If it was a second home or buy-to-let, you may owe CGT on the gain.
Do I pay stamp duty if I sell and buy another house?
You pay stamp duty on the home you buy, not the one you sell. If you are selling your main home and buying another, you usually pay the standard SDLT rate. If the new property is an additional home, you pay the 3% surcharge.
