In 2018, Wales will introduce the first Welsh Tax for 800 years! The Welsh Government will take responsibility for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), which is paid when somebody buys or leases a property or land over a certain price in Wales.

SDLT will be replaced by Land Transaction Tax in Wales and will affect a range of parties such as home buyers and businesses located in Wales. The Bill to pass Land Transaction Tax into Welsh law will be examined over the coming months in the Assembly.

As part of this inquiry the Finance Committee would like to collect ideas and views through an online discussion platform: https://senedd.dialogue-app.com/maer-dreth-stamp-yng-nghymru-ar-fin-newid-stamp-duty-in-wales-is-about-to-change.   You can submit your ideas and rate and comment on those posted by others.

To better understand the views of the people of Wales, the Finance Committee want to hear as many views as possible from across Wales.
