Stamp Duty Calculator for Sri Lanka

Whether you’re buying or leasing property in Sri Lanka, stamp duty is a legal requirement that must be settled at the time of executing the relevant deed. Use our Stamp Duty Calculator to estimate the applicable duty based on your transaction type and property value.

This tool provides stamp duty estimates for:

• Property Purchases – Land, houses, apartments, and commercial properties.
• Lease Agreements – Residential or commercial leasing, based on the total rent payable.
• For property purchases, stamp duty is generally:
  • 3% on the first Rs. 100,000
  • 4% on the balance amount
• For leases, stamp duty is calculated based on:
  • The total lease value (rent over the lease period)
  • Lease duration and renewal terms
• Stamp duty rates can vary based on province, nature of the transaction, or parties involved (e.g., corporate vs. individual)
