3.The Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (Scotland) Act 2013 (“the Act”) is the first of three related Acts being brought forward as a consequence of measures enacted in the Scotland Act 2012 (c.11) (“the 2012 Act”) which received Royal Assent on 1 May 2012. Under the terms of the 2012 Act, the Scottish Parliament will have responsibility for taxes on land transactions and disposals to landfill. This Act deals with the former responsibility and makes provision for a tax on land transactions in Scotland, to be called the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (“LBTT”). LBTT is based on UK Stamp Duty Land Tax (“SDLT”) as enacted in Part 4 of the Finance Act 2003 (c.14). The provisions of the 2012 Act disapplying the existing SDLT regime in Scotland will be brought into force by a Treasury order in the UK Parliament. The intention is that the provisions introducing LBTT will come into force in April 2015, the day after SDLT is disapplied.
