LTT replaces SDLT in Wales from 1 April 2018.

A supplement of 3% of the total purchase price applies for all three taxes where an additional residential property is purchased for more than £40,000 (unless replacing a main residence).

For SDLT:

– From 22.11.17, first-time buyers purchasing a property of up to £500,000 pay a nil rate on the first £300,000 of purchase price.

– A rate of 15% applies to the total purchase price where the property is valued above £500,000 and purchased by a ‘non-natural person’ (e.g. a company).
