Are you confused when it comes to Stamp Duty!

Northern Ireland First Time buyers will not have to pay Stamp Duty Tax when purchasing a residential property up to and including the value of £300,000. There is a stamp duty tax of 5% on the amount over £300,000 when purchasing first time, however, this is likely to be a very some portion of the population in this position.
