Land Transaction Tax statistics: April 2018

This statistical release presents official statistics for Land Transaction Tax.

These initial estimates are provisional. We will revise these estimates in the next monthly statistics publication on 19 June. This is because organisations are still able to report further transactions for April. Organisations have 30 days after the date of the transaction to report them to the WRA.

Key points

At the end of 10 May 2018, there were:

• 3,940 reported notifiable LTT transactions with an effective date of April 2018, with a total of £12.0 million tax due
