Rates of enveloped property transaction tax

EPTT is calculated on the market value of the enveloped property. The rate of duty varies depending upon the type of transaction.

The standard charge is £90 plus an amount calculated per the standard EPTT bands.

For residential property, the higher rate is charged on the acquisition of a significant interest in any dwelling other than that to be used as a main residence.
