Is Stamp Duty Changing? What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

There has been recent speculation about major changes to property taxation in the UK, including the possibility of scrapping Stamp Duty altogether. Suggestions include replacing it with an annual property tax for homes valued over £500,000, and even applying capital gains tax to sales above £1.5m.

Such reforms would represent a major shift in the housing market, with wide-reaching implications for buyers, sellers, and investors. However, despite the speculation, most experts believe significant reforms are unlikely in the immediate future.

For now, Stamp Duty remains in place, and buyers should continue planning with the current rules in mind.
