Changes to Stamp Duty tax rates in England were announced as part of the mini-budget in September 2022, among several significant adjustments to UK tax structures and charges.

However, non-residential property transactions and mixed-use purchases remain liable for the same Stamp Duty rates, and calculating the levy correctly is important.

Is Stamp Duty Payable on a Business Property or Buy-to-Let?

Stamp Duty is a property tax charged to the buyer and is payable on all property types if the sale value exceeds the threshold.

Non-residential property transactions include any sale comprising:

  • Commercial business premises.
  • Non-residential properties.
  • Agricultural land.
  • Blocks of six or more residential properties purchased together.
  • Land or property that is not a residential garden.
  • Mixed-use premises.

Purchases over the £150,000 threshold are liable for Stamp Duty, even if the property is partially residential, but another part falls into one of the above categories.

Stamp Duty applies regardless of whether the purchase is a new build, an existing property or a freehold or leasehold asset.

What Are the Stamp Duty Rates on Buy-to-Let Properties?

A buy-to-let is considered a non-residential property acquisition because the buyer does not intend to live in the accommodation as their primary residence.

Therefore, the non-residential Stamp Duty rates apply.

This rule also covers mixed-use properties. For example, an office with a flat above it or a residential property with multiple units will not be taxed as a residential home.

Stamp Duty Rates for Non-Residential or Mixed Use Properties

Current Stamp Duty rates for all commercial or non-residential buildings are as follows.

£150,001 - £250,000

£250,001 and above

5%

Commercial and non-residential Stamp Duty rates work on tiers, so the 2% band is only charged against the proportion of the value that falls between £150,000 and £250,000 and so on.

Example Non-Residential Stamp Duty Calculation

If a business or individual investor were to purchase a property for £500,000, the Stamp Duty calculation would be:

  • £0 - £150,000: zero Stamp Duty.
  • £150,000 - £250,000: 2% Stamp Duty of £2,000.
  • £250,000 - £500,000: 5% Stamp Duty of £12,500.
  • Total Stamp Duty payable is £14,500 or 2.9%.

Example Non-Residential Stamp Duty Calculation for a Leasehold Purchase

Leasehold purchases are calculated as the total lease premium paid plus the annual rent paid to the freehold owner.

The lease purchase cost is the lease premium, and the annual rent is the net present value.

Net present value is based on the total lifetime of the leasehold multiplied by the yearly rent, but Stamp Duty is only payable if the total is £150,000 or above.

When Does Commercial Stamp Duty Need to Be Paid to HMRC?

Commercial and non-residential property purchases have 30 days to remit the tax payment to HMRC, a slightly longer extension than for a residential transaction. The 30 days commence on the day the sale completes.

Most buyers will use a solicitor to manage the property deeds and financing, so they will organise the payment on your behalf to ensure you do not receive a penalty.

Stamp Duty is payable by all buyers, whether a company or an individual, a private investor or an overseas organisation.
