LBTT6013 – Tax rates and bands
For chargeable leases, the following tax rates and bands apply to the Net Present Value (NPV) of the rent payable under the lease:
| NPV of rent payable | LBTT rate |
|---|---|
| Up to £150,000 | 0% |
| Above £150,000 | 1% |
LBTT may also be payable on chargeable consideration other than rent, such as a premium. The standard tax rates and bands for non-residential property transactions apply to any such payments under a lease (except in the case of qualifying leases where there is a premium paid, which will be taxable at the residential rates):
| Premium | LBTT rate |
|---|---|
| Up to £150,000 | 0% |
| Above £150,000 to £350,000 | 3% |
| Above £350,000 | 4.5% |
We have developed an online tax calculator for help in working out the amount of LBTT payable on lease transactions. This calculator is for reference purposes only.
