Stamp Duty and costs on a Northampton purchase
As a worked example, here is the Stamp Duty Land Tax on a £520,000 commercial building in Northampton:
| Slice of the price | Rate | Tax |
|---|---|---|
| First £150,000 | 0% | £0 |
| £150,001 to £250,000 | 2% | £2,000 |
| £250,001 to £520,000 | 5% | £13,500 |
| Total | £15,500 |
GOV.UK says the return and payment are due within 14 days of completion, so the £15,500 belongs in the cash plan from the start.
