Did You Overpay LTT on Your Property in Wales?

Many property buyers in Wales overpay Land Transaction Tax (LTT) without realising it. Complex rules around multiple dwellings, mixed-use properties, and broken chains often result in overpayment.

At SCA Tax, we specialise in identifying and claiming LTT refunds, ensuring you recover the tax you are legally owed - quickly, accurately, and without stress.

What Is LTT?

Land Transaction Tax (LTT) replaced Stamp Duty in Wales in 2018. It is calculated on a banded system, with higher rates applying to more expensive properties.

Overpayments can occur due to:

• Misapplied reliefs
• Incorrect property classification
• Post-completion changes not reflected in your return

Common Reasons for Overpaid LTT

You may be eligible for an LTT refund if:

• Multiple Dwellings Relief (MDR): You purchased more than one property in a single transaction
• Mixed-Use Property: Part residential, part commercial properties were misclassified
• Broken Chain Relief: Your move was part of a collapsed property chain and relief was missed
• Post-Completion Changes: Circumstances changed after completion that affect your tax liability
