The number of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) receipts collected by the Treasury in July 2022 was more than any other summer month since records began, according to statistics published by HMRC.
The Treasury collected £1.497 billion, beaten only by December 2021 which recorded £1.737 billion.
Excluding air passenger duty, where the receipts significantly decreased because of the pandemic, SDLT receipts grew faster than any other tax in the current financial year from 1 April 2022.
