   Stamp duty
   This is a tax which is levied on the purchase of property. The tax is paid by purchasers and is currently levied at the following rates, which were announced on March 22nd, 2000 by the Chancellor in his budget speech: 1% of property value £60000 - £250000, 3% of property value £250001 - £500000 and 4% of property value £500001 and above. The appropriate rate is paid on the whole purchase price and not just the excess applying to that band i.e. a purchase price of £350000 will attract £10500 stamp duty, being 3% of £350000. Since 30th November 2001, some disadvantaged areas of the UK became liable to stamp duty exemption. To see if the property you are purchasing is eligible for exemption, or for more information, call the Stamp Taxes Helpline on 0845 603 0135 or visit www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/so/disadvantaged.htm

    Stamp duty
    `Stamp duty` is a form of tax that is levied on documents. Historically, a physical stamp (a tax stamp) had to be attached to or impressed upon the document to denote that stamp duty had been paid before the document became legally effective. More modern versions of the tax no longer require a physical stamp.
