How do I calculate stamp duty land tax (SDLT) accurately for my second buy-to-let property purchase, considering potential first-time buyer relief on my main residence?
Quick Answer
SDLT for a second buy-to-let includes standard rates plus a 5% surcharge. First-time buyer relief doesn't apply to investment properties or if you already own a main residence.
