House of Lords written question HL870.

Question for HM Treasury

UIN HL870, tabled on 17 July 2017

Her Majesty's Government what was (1) the total income raised from the stamp duty levy on additional homes, and (2) the total amount refunded because a purchaser sold their main residence within three years of buying a new one, in 2016-17.

The total income raised from the higher rate of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) on additional homes for 2016-17 was £1,643m. This is the revenue from the additional 3% element only and therefore excludes the revenue from the main rates of SDLT on these properties.

Statistics on repayments from the higher rate of SDLT on additional properties for 2016-17 are due to be published in July 2017.
