Written Question
Stamp Duty Land Tax: Coronavirus
Tuesday 8th September 2020

Asked by: James Gray (Conservative - North Wiltshire)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people moved home and paid Stamp Duty between 1 April and 7 July 2020; and how much revenue was collected in Stamp Duty during that period.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

The precise statistics requested are not readily available as stamp duty transactions and revenue are derived on a monthly basis.

HM Revenue and Customs have published Official Statistics for the months in question. The “Monthly property transactions completed in the UK with value of £40,000 or above” publication contains the residential transaction figures, and the “HMRC tax receipts and National Insurance contributions for the UK” publication contains the SDLT receipts figures. More specific information would only be available at disproportionate cost.
