Details

This measure amends out of date information used in legislation for the Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) exemption for registered providers of social housing.

The amendments will update the list of public subsidies to include public grants which have been permitted to be retained and recycled to qualify for the exemption.

The measure also removes public bodies from the SDLT 15% higher rate charge.
