Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) has replaced Stamp Duty in Scotland. If you’re buying a residential property over £145,000, you’ll have to pay LBTT. This calculator works out how much Land and Buildings Transaction Tax you need to pay on your new home. It also works out how much you’ll pay on any additional property purchase over £40,000, like a buy to let or second home, which attracts an extra 3% Additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS).
Anyone purchasing an additional home including buy to let properties over the value of £40,000 will have to pay an extra 3% surcharge on top of each Land and Buildings Transaction Tax band

Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) is paid at different rates, depending on the band the purchase price falls into. For example, someone buying a property for £280,000 would pay no tax on the value of the property up to £145,000, 2% tax on the property value between £145,001 and £250,000 and 5% on the property value between £250,001 and £280,000. In this case, total liability for Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) would be £3,600 giving an effective tax rate of 1.29% (average percentage rate of tax paid).
Anyone buying a second home including a buy to let property will pay an extra 3% on top of the relevant standard rate band. In this example that would represent an extra £8,400, meaning the total stamp duty would be £12,000 giving an effective tax rate of 4.29%.
