Higher Rate Stamp Duty Calculator

Our higher rate stamp duty calculator helps you work out how much you need to pay when purchasing an additional property, and whether you might be entitled to a refund if certain conditions are met.

Who Can Claim a Refund?

You may be able to reclaim the higher rate stamp duty surcharge if:

• You sold your former main residence within three years of purchasing a new one.
• You were incorrectly charged higher rate stamp duty when it should not have applied.
• The property you purchased replaced your main residence, but the timing of the transactions caused the surcharge to be applied initially.

If any of these apply, you may be eligible to reclaim the 5% higher rate surcharge paid.

How It Works

Our calculator uses your purchase details to:

• Calculate the correct higher rate stamp duty liability.
• Estimate how much you could reclaim if you qualify for a refund.

Important Notes

• Leasehold Properties: This tool does not account for lease premium calculations. For these cases, use the official HMRC stamp duty calculator.

This calculator is intended to give a general indication of potential higher rate stamp duty liabilities and refunds. Always verify figures using the official government stamp duty calculator before making a claim or submitting a return.
