Your LBTT
How LBTT works in Scotland
Land and Buildings Transaction Tax replaced Stamp Duty in Scotland and is collected by Revenue Scotland. It is progressive: you pay each rate only on the slice of the price that falls within that band, not on the whole price. So a higher price nudges only the top slice into a higher rate.
Residential LBTT bands
- Up to £145,000: 0%
- £145,001–£250,000: 2%
- £250,001–£325,000: 5%
- £325,001–£750,000: 10%
- Above £750,000: 12%
Buying an additional property — a buy-to-let or second home — adds the Additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS) of 8% on the full purchase price, on top of the progressive LBTT above. First-time buyers may qualify for relief, and the numbers here are indicative only.
