Could You Get a Stamp Duty Refund?

Answer some questions to find out if you qualify as a ‘UK resident’ for a stamp duty refund.

As the Stamp Duty Advice Bureau, we’re here to guide you through the process of applying for a stamp duty refund.

If you’ve bought a property and all buyers have lived in the UK for at least 183 days within a year-long period around the purchase date, you may be eligible for a refund. This period starts up to a year before and ends up to a year after the purchase.

To apply, you’ll need to do so within two years of the purchase date. You’ll need several pieces of information, including:

– UK bank account details for the refund recipient
– The Unique Transaction Reference Number (UTRN) from when you bought the property
– The date you bought the property
– The amount of Stamp Duty Land Tax you paid, including the non-resident surcharge
– The purchase price for freehold properties, or total lease premium for leasehold properties
– If it’s a new lease, the ‘net present value’ calculation used for the Stamp Duty Land Tax

If you’ve already reclaimed the higher rate on additional dwellings, you’ll need the amount of Stamp Duty Land Tax that was due after the refund.

Your solicitor or conveyancer can help you find most of these details.

To apply for a refund, you’ll be asking HMRC to amend the Stamp Duty Land Tax return for the property. You’ll need to certify that the amendment is correct. The repayment will be paid into the claimant’s account.

We’re here to help you navigate this process and ensure you get any refund you’re due.

Technically, what are you as a business?

The company acts as an agent for stamp duty reclaims, presenting clients cases for obtaining a refund if eligible. We also offer expert advice and evidence to assess properties correctly as non-residential before purchase. We operate on a no-win-no-fee basis, and fees are only invoiced after a successful claim.

Who can apply for a repayment of the non-UK resident stamp duty land tax surcharge?

Any individual who purchased a property and lived in the UK for at least 183 days in any continuous 365-day period starting no more than 364 days before the effective date of transaction and ending no more than 365 days after the effective date of the transaction can apply. An agent can also apply on behalf of the purchaser.

What is the effective date of the transaction?

The effective date of the transaction is usually the completion date of the property purchase.

What is the deadline to apply for the repayment?

You must apply for the repayment within 2 years of the effective date of the transaction.

What information is needed to apply for the repayment?

You will need the UK bank account and sort code details for the person to receive the payment, the Unique Transaction Reference Number (UTRN) of the Stamp Duty Land Tax return submitted when the property was purchased, the effective date of the purchase of the property, the amount of Stamp Duty Land Tax paid on the property, including the non-resident surcharge, and details about the property purchase price or lease premium.

Can an agent apply for a repayment on behalf of the purchaser?

Yes, an agent can apply for a repayment on behalf of the purchaser. The agent will need a document signed by the purchaser confirming that the agent has authority to apply for a repayment on their behalf.

How can I apply for a repayment?

Sure, here’s a revised version:

You can apply for a repayment by asking HMRC to change the Stamp Duty Land Tax return for the property. You can do this using your Government Gateway user ID and password, or your email address. If you don’t have a Government Gateway user ID, you can only apply by email. Alternatively, we at the Stamp Duty Advice Bureau can make the application on your behalf, making the process easier for you.
