LTT rate changes and impact of coronavirus (COVID-19)

The data in this release should be considered in the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and subsequent LTT rate changes introduced on 27 July 2020 and 22 December 2020. This had a significant impact on the number of property transactions and tax due during different parts of 2020-21, with a significant fall at the start of the year partly offset by marked rises later in the year. It should therefore be borne in mind when viewing changes between all time periods included here, and any equivalent figures a year earlier.

The chart shows the number of residential and non-residential transactions submitted to the WRA each week from April 2019 to May 2022. Please note that this chart includes a small number of transactions effective in May 2022.
