These notes are intended to be used as general guidance for practitioners and purchasers who complete their own land transaction returns.

The guidance given will be adequate for the majority of straightforward transactions.

The notes are not a complete or comprehensive account of stamp duty land tax law or practice.

In this electronic version of the SDLT6, there are links to specific paragraphs of the stamp duty land tax Manual that provide more detailed information about the topics against which they appear.
