stamp duty
Property transfer levy
Stamp duty is a tax levied on legal documents and transactions, particularly property purchases.
The name comes from the physical stamps once affixed to documents as proof of payment.
In Britain and other Commonwealth countries, stamp duty applies when buying a house: The stamp duty on properties over £250,000 adds thousands to the purchase price.
The tax rate typically increases with the transaction value.
