Stamp Duty Reform UK

Stamp Duty is a barrier to recovery of the UK housing market – recovery is more transactions, not rising prices. Stamp Duty Reform UK campaigns for change.

People whose homes are worth £2m+ in 2026 are likely to have the value massively eroded by the upcoming High Value Council Tax Supplement (Mansion Tax) but they will still have to pay the tax based on the April 2026 value! Truly a double whammy!

[Stamp Duty Reform UK @StampDutyReform]

@ftmoney A key issue is that Mansion Tax liability is based on value at April 2026, so a property valued at £2.1M in April 2026 is likely to have its value pushed down to £1.9M by April 2028 but the owners will still have to pay even though they've just lost £200K

Why time might finally be up for #stampduty

A shake-up of the ‘stupid tax’ that puts homeowners off moving would boost the property market and the economy

MPs urge Reeves to scrap stamp duty as it’s ‘damaging the economy’

@HomeOwnersAll

Have you responded to this?

Note the specious Westminster example . Most rural Band H properties already pay £5k pa in council tax! Owners now face total council tax charges of £7500 or more!

@BenZaranko Clearly the majority of all age groups are against kicking older people out of their own homes.

Cutting ludicrous #stampduty might encourage more older people to move of their own accord

@matthewlesh @CityAM @tweetfreshwater Today's Mandelson release contains Pat McFadden stating: 'Every meeting I have is "who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others?"'

UK residential transactions remain at two-thirds the level of 2006/7 (source: HMRC). The peaks show the power of #stampduty changes. With the market faltering, now really is the time for a cut.

After the Budget, Government announced it would consult on the HIGH VALUE PROPERTY COUNCIL TAX SURCHARGE early in 26. It has now pushed this back to 'later this year', but still plans to bring in the charge in April 28

Killing the goose that laid the golden egg is a tired old phrase but it sums up what the Government is doing to the property market.

When the Government announced the vicious 'High Value Property Tax' last November, it promised a public consultation early in 2026 but has since been quiet. Why is this?

Band H property owners in much of the SE will have just received their Council Tax bills of c£5k. From 2028 they will have to pay an extra £2.5k in High Value Property Tax – a total of £7.5k (that's nearly £10k of earned income at basic rate tax). Many won't be able to afford it.

[Stamp Duty Reform UK @StampDutyReform]

Why aren't property owners in London more angry?

£2.25m buys a terrace or semi-detached property in Putney – not a mansion. Stamp Duty is £183,750. High value property tax is £2.5k pa from 2026. Council Tax for Band H is an additional £2k pa.

A moronic tax that will actually lose the Treasury money. Will cost homeowners billions in lost value. It’s about pure envy.⁦@RachelReevesMP ⁦@Keir_Starmer⁩ @TalkTV ⁦@GBNEWS⁩ #MansionTax #HousingMarket ⁦@JuliaHB1⁩ https://t.co/2TITdbk0i5

The #MansionTax sees all money raised will going straight to the Treasury. This will clearly reduce disposable income and as such will have an impact on retail, leisure, food & drink sectors and in turn their suppliers. Reverse multiplier effect - law of unintended consequences.
