Stamp Duty Land Tax when you buy property

New thresholds introduced from 3 September 2008 mean that if you buy property and the purchase price is £175,000 or less you don't pay any Stamp Duty Land Tax at all.

If it's more than £175,000, you pay between one and four per cent of the whole purchase price. The £175,000 threshold (up from £125,000) will remain in place up to and including 2 September 2009.
