13The tax due in relation to a dwelling is determined as follows.

  • Step 1

    Find the total consideration attributable to dwellings, that is—

    (a)

    the consideration attributable to dwellings for the transaction, or

    (b)

    where the transaction is one of a number of linked transactions, the sum of—

    (i)

    the consideration attributable to dwellings for the transaction, and

    (ii)

    the consideration attributable to dwellings for all other relevant transactions.

  • Step 2

    Divide the total consideration attributable to dwellings by total dwellings.

    “Total dwellings” is the total number of dwellings by reference to which the total consideration attributable to dwellings is calculated.

  • Step 3

    Calculate the amount of tax that would be due in relation to the relevant transaction were—

    (a)

    (b)

    The result is the tax due in relation to a dwelling.
