What this measures
Stamp Duty Land Tax received in the financial year on property transactions in England and Northern Ireland.
What this doesn’t measure
Scotland and Wales, which levy their own land transaction taxes collected by their own revenue authorities.
Important caveat
Receipts are cash received in the period, so they lag the activity being taxed: Self Assessment income tax and capital gains tax arrive up to a year later, and Corporation Tax arrives in instalments. Figures are in cash terms, so a rise partly reflects inflation and a growing economy rather than a heavier tax. Some taxes did not exist in earlier years and their columns are blank rather than zero. HMRC does not collect every tax: council tax, business rates, vehicle excise duty and the devolved Scottish and Welsh taxes are raised elsewhere.
