Stamp Duty for Armed Forces serving overseas

admin

I currently own a rental property in the NE that I’m looking to sell. I am a serving member of the UK armed forces and posted overseas.

The new property that I’m looking to buy would, in all likelihood, be rented (initially) until I’m posted back to the UK.

What stamp duty would the HMRC expect me to pay ?

Although I intend to live in the property (at some point when my military career allows) I will be selling one buy-to-let and buying another.

Can I convince them that I should pay standard rate ?

Many thanks

Jack
