What this means for you

The top £425,000 of the price falls in the 10% band, which accounts for £42,500 of the £48,350 total.
£750,000 sits exactly on a band boundary, so any amount above it is taxed at the next rate up.
A second home pays the 8% Additional Dwelling Supplement on the whole price (£60,000) on top of normal LBTT.
First-time buyer relief raises the nil band to £175,000, saving up to £600; here it saves £600.
