Is SDLT payable on fixtures?

Didn't find your answer?

My client is purchasing a commercial property for £600,000 and included is £100,000 of integral fixtures and fittings.

Will they have to pay SDLT on the £600,000 or just the £500,000?

£600k

As integral fixtures and fittings    are not chattels.

Yes

SDLT is payable on items that are incorporated into the building and so are not chattels. A relatively recent tribunal decision on this point is worth a read:
