Official answer
Which UK property taxes should I check?
Buying can trigger SDLT, LBTT or LTT; selling a second home or rental can trigger Capital Gains Tax; and rental profits can be subject to Income Tax. The correct calculation depends on the nation, transaction date, ownership, residence history and income, so each result should keep its assumptions visible.
