Land Transaction Tax statistics: January to March 2024

In our January release, we began publishing quarterly data for local areas for the first time. Previously, we had only published local area data on an annual basis in our annual release. In January, we asked for views on whether we need to publish our annual statistical release in future. Having considered feedback, we intend to discontinue the annual statistical release with some analysis now captured in a more timely way in our quarterly releases. We are still considering how to update our previous annual article explaining how to use data for local areas. If you have any views on these changes then please contact us at data@wra.gov.wales.

Further information

Please see the ‘Data’ section below for a spreadsheet with data tables and chart data used in this report. Also see the StatsWales website for detailed LTT datasets.

We also publish monthly statistics, which can be found on the Land Transaction Tax series page.

Monthly statistics are data-only updates with no commentary. Monthly statistics may have more up-to-date data than quarterly statistics.

Further data have been produced in response to some Freedom of Information requests received by the WRA around the public consultation on land transaction tax reliefs. They are consistent with wider land transaction tax aggregates for 2023-24 as published as part of the statistical release on 25 April 2024. Please refer to our key quality information for further information as to how LTT statistics are produced. 

The January to March 2024 Land Transaction Tax statistics have been updated to include the 2024 Westminster Parliamentary Constituencies on StatsWales.
