Stamp Duty

Stamp Duty on Residential Property Rentals is a legal requirement and we would recommend you gain professional advice. Stamp Duty is only applicable when the rental figure exceeds £125,000 during the period of the rental term. As of 4 December 2014, it is now calculated at increasing rates for each portion of the price being paid, in a similar fashion to income tax.

In order to simplify the more complicated calculation, Russell Simpson provide you with a 'Stamp Duty Calculator'.

Enter the proposed total rental sum for the duration of your term below to establish the tax payable on your rental.

TENANT FEES AND ADDITIONAL COSTS

In accordance with the Tenant Fees Act 2019, the rules for how fees will be charged for Assured Shorthold Tenancies (AST’s) are different to how fees will be charged for Non-Housing Act (NHA) tenancies.

Housing Act Tenancies: Assured Shorthold Tenancies (AST)	Non-Housing Act Tenancies (NHA): Also known as 'Common Law Tenancies'
An AST is the most common type of type of tenancy if you rent from a private landlord or letting agent.	An NHA tenancy is typically created if the rent is over £100,000 per year, or if it is a company tenancy.
You usually have an AST if: The rent is less than £100,000 per year You (the tenant) are an individual and are using the property as your main home Your landlord doesn’t live in the property The property is privately owned	A company tenancy is when a company takes on a residential tenancy agreement as the tenant. The company employee will live in the property as a ‘permitted occupant’.
An NHA tenancy would also be created if the property isn’t the tenant’s main home.
