Se você estiver comprando uma casa na Inglaterra, custando mais de £ 125.000, precisará pagar um imposto sobre a terra do selo na compra de sua nova casa. Nas províncias, é chamado de algo um pouco diferente; portanto, se você estiver comprando um imóvel na Escócia acima de £ 145.000, pagará a Terrender and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) e, para qualquer propriedade acima de £ 180.000 no País de Gales, você pagará o imposto sobre transações de terra (LTT). Seja qual for o imposto chamado, é um fator importante ao se mover, quando você considera que
No ano passado, o comprador médio do Reino Unido pagou £ 10.150 apenas no imposto sobre impostos sobre o carimbo
Agora, assim que a data para o orçamento de Rishi Sunak foi estabelecida para o dia 11 de março de 2020. O chanceler apenas define o orçamento para a Inglaterra e a Irlanda do Norte, mas isso é igualmente relevante para o País de Gales e a Escócia. Data. Imposto. O Nationals é quase certo e, se não for implementado imediatamente, será na declaração de outono. A melhor maneira de fazer isso é elevar o limite dos atuais £ 125k. Se o limiar do imposto de selo tivesse sido aumentado para £ 500k em 2019, 700.400 compradores de casas na Inglaterra não teriam pago nenhum imposto de imposto de selo. £ 500.000 (
Even though Derek Mackay, the Scottish Finance Secretary said on 6th February he has no plans to change Scotland’s version of Stamp Duty (LBTT), more often than not, Stamp Duty rule changes in England are often adopted in Wales and Scotland at a future date.
Some are asking if Sunak will impose what was promised in the Conservative manifesto with the 3% additional Stamp Duty surcharge on non-UK resident buyers?
I have certainly heard in the Estate Agent community that foreign buyers are trying to rush through their sales in central prime London (Park Lane/Mayfair etc etc) before 11th March to ensure they don’t get hit with a new tax.
Or will he go even further, and will we see a reappearance of Boris Johnson’s hitherto specified aim of eliminating Stamp Duty below £500k, consequently theoretically saving homebuyers many thousands of pounds?
However, opinions are divided on what, if anything, will be included in the budget.
Most believe that the extra 3% for foreign nationals is an almost certainty, and if it isn’t implemented straight away, it will be in the Autumn Statement.
Many believe the Chancellor could also decide to repay the favour to those in the North who turned the Election map ‘blue’ on the evening of 12th December with actions to enhance the housing market north of the M62 with stamp duty changes. The best way he could do that is to raise the threshold from the current £125k.
When Boris ran for Tory leadership back in May 2019, he said that he wanted to expand the threshold at which you begin paying stamp duty from £125k to £500k, which when you consider 7 out of 8 residential sales in 2019 were for homes below £500k, that would have a considerable effect. If the Stamp Duty threshold had been raised to £500k in 2019, then 700,400 homebuyers in England would not have paid any Stamp Duty Tax.
99.8% of Jewellery Quarter properties sold last year were below £500k
Of the 575 properties sold in the last 12 months within half a mile radius of the Jewellery Quarter, only 1 of those properties sold was over £500,000 ( Interessante quando comparado à Grande Londres, onde 44,9% das propriedades estavam abaixo do nível de £ 500k). Se todas as propriedades abaixo de £ 500k estivessem isentas, o governo perderia 2,22 bilhões de libras em recebimentos de impostos, de acordo com a Savills. Obviamente, isso pode ser composto com imposto extra sobre propriedades vazias ou aumentar a taxa de imposto de selo da Segunda Homes a partir dos 3% atuais, para dizer 5%, o que aumentaria 1,12 bilhão adicional no topo dos atuais £ 1,68 bilhão que levanta para o Tesouro, mas teria um efeito negativo no Buy-to-Land Landlords comprando casas adicionais.
Yet the cost to the HM Treasury would be significant. If all properties below £500k were exempt, the government would lose £2.22bn in tax receipts according to Savills. Of course, this could be made up with extra tax on empty properties or increasing the second homes Stamp Duty levy from the current 3% to say 5%, which would raise an additional £1.12bn on top of the current £1.68bn it raises for the Treasury, yet it would have a negative effect on buy-to-let landlords buying additional homes.
What almost unquestionably won’t happen is the earlier idea of switching the Stamp Duty liability from homebuyer to home seller
this would stall the property market, would probably cause political fallout among 688,300 homebuyers who paid Stamp Duty last year alone, make homes ‘appear’ more expensive as house sellers would inflate the asking price to try and recoup some of the tax, yet ultimately could be seen as 'Realganizando os Chairs Decks on the Titanic'. O governo não quer balançar o barco na onda que está sendo montada pelo mercado imobiliário no 'Boris Bounce' desde dezembro. £ 2.411 cada), o governo deseja que os compradores iniciantes entrem na escada da habitação. É claro que o relatório de volta após 11
The 3% additional levy for foreign buyers is almost certain (of which we don’t get many in Jewellery Quarter – as they tend to buy in prime London areas which is of course the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, and parts of the boroughs of Hammersmith and Fulham, and Camden), yet I have a feeling that ultimately the Government doesn’t want to rock the boat on the wave that is being rode by the property market on the ‘Boris Bounce’ since December.
I also doubt any changes will be made to first time buyer Stamp Duty relief, as 22% of all property transactions in 2019 were to first-time buyers, and whilst it cost the Treasury (or saved the first-timer buyers) a total of £539m in Stamp Duty relief (an average of £2,411 each), the Government are keen for first time buyers to get onto the housing ladder.
Ultimately, we can only wait until Mr Sunak opens his red leather box on 11th March to find out what will happen. I will of course report back after 11 TH de março sobre o que (se houver) alterações no regime tributário afetará o mercado imobiliário do trimestre de joalheria daqui para frente.
