The top slice of this price is taxed at 3%. Jersey’s bands are marginal, so that rate applies only to the part of the price inside the top band — not to the whole of it.
What this assumes
The standard rate, on a property that will be your main residence. The higher rate for additional properties and first-time buyer relief are facts about the buyer rather than the property, so neither is assumed here. Check your own position with your lawyer.
How Jersey stamp duty is calculated
Jersey stamp duty bands are marginal, not slab. Each rate below applies only to the part of the purchase price inside its band. A property just over a threshold is taxed only pennies more than one just under it.
| Slice of the price | Rate on that slice |
|---|---|
| Up to £50,000 | 0.5% |
| £50,000 to £300,000 | 1.5% |
| £300,000 to £500,000 | 2% |
| £500,000 to £700,000 | 3% |
| £700,000 to £1,000,000 | 3.5% |
| £1,000,000 to £1,500,000 | 4.5% |
| £1,500,000 to £2,000,000 | 5.5% |
| £2,000,000 to £3,000,000 | 7.5% |
| £3,000,000 to £6,000,000 | 10% |
| Above £6,000,000 | 11% |

Jersey stamp duty questions
- How much is stamp duty in Jersey?
- Stamp duty on a £650,000 Jersey property is £12,500, plus a £90 registration fee. Jersey charges land transaction tax in marginal bands running from 0.5% to 11%, so each slice of the purchase price is taxed at its own rate.
- Are Jersey stamp duty bands marginal or slab?
- Jersey stamp duty bands are marginal. Each rate applies only to the part of the price that falls inside its band, not to the whole purchase price. A property just over a band threshold is therefore taxed only pennies more than one just under it.
- Is stamp duty different in Jersey from the UK?
- Yes. Jersey is not part of the United Kingdom for tax purposes and sets its own land transaction tax rates, which differ from Stamp Duty Land Tax in England and from the equivalent taxes in Scotland and Wales. A UK stamp duty calculator will give the wrong figure for a Jersey purchase.
- What is the registration fee on a Jersey property purchase?
- A flat £90 registration fee is charged on a freehold Jersey transaction, on top of the stamp duty itself.
- Does this calculator include first-time buyer relief?
- No. This calculator shows the standard rate, which applies where the property will be the buyer’s main residence. First-time buyer relief and the higher rate for additional properties are facts about the buyer rather than the property, so they are not assumed here.
