How is Land Transaction Tax calculated in Wales?

LTT is marginal (2025/26 main rates): 0% up to £225,000, 6% to £400,000, 7.5% to £750,000, 10% to £1.5m and 12% above. Each rate applies only to the slice of price within its band.

Is there first-time buyer relief in Wales?

No. Wales has no first-time buyer relief, but the £225,000 nil-rate band is the highest in the UK, so many first homes pay no LTT anyway.

What are the higher rates for second homes in Wales?

Additional properties use a separate, steeper banded scale (5% to 17%, raised 1% on 11 December 2024), not a flat surcharge.
