MPs have approved government amendments to the Stamp Duty Land Tax (Reduction) Bill. This will see the increase in SDLT threshold from the 23 September “mini-Budget” reversed in April 2025.
Several opposition and backbench amendments, including an attempt to extend the higher threshold to March 2028 and to exclude second homes, were rejected.
