Stamp Duty Land Tax Act 2015

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This Act changed how stamp duty (a tax paid when buying property in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland) works. Instead of one flat tax rate, it now uses different tax rates depending on the total price of the property, with higher rates only applying to the most expensive parts of the purchase price.
