Not tax advice

Stamp doesn't give tax advice. It helps you see whether your purchase is standard or non-standard for stamp duty, keeps a record of your answers, and, if you want advice, lets you choose an independent tax adviser.

What Stamp does

• Asks you questions about your purchase
• Applies Stamp Duty Land Tax rules for England and Northern Ireland to your answers
• Tells you whether your result is standard (one figure) or non-standard (something in your answers can change your stamp duty, so you get a low and a high figure)
• Keeps a time-stamped record of your answers and result for you and the firm that sent you the link
• If your result is non-standard, lets you choose an independent adviser from our panel

What Stamp doesn't do

• Give tax, legal or financial advice. Stamp is not a law firm or a firm of tax advisers, and has no in-house advisers.
• Check that your answers are correct. Your result depends on them.
• File your SDLT return. Your conveyancer does that.
• Cover Scotland or Wales, which have different taxes.

When you need advice

If your result is non-standard, or you're unsure about any answer, get advice before your purchase completes. You can choose an adviser from our panel, or use any qualified adviser you prefer. Each panel adviser is an independent firm that gives advice under its own terms and professional rules.

Articles and examples on our website

Our articles, case studies and interactive examples explain how stamp duty works in general. They aren't advice about your purchase. Tax rules change, so always check the date of what you're reading.
