The SDLT nil rate band will continue to be set at £500,000 until 30 June 2021. In order to ease the housing market back to the standard rates, from 1 July the nil rate band will step down to £250,000, before returning to the standard rate of £125,000 from 1 October 2021.

The Government has always been clear that the SDLT relief is a temporary measure to support the housing market. There will not be a further extension of the SDLT holiday.
