# Property Transfer Tax Planner — United States

> England and Northern Ireland SDLT, Scotland LBTT and Wales LTT use distinct researched schedules. Relief and surcharge eligibility must be checked first. Ireland uses researched residential, qualifying apartment-block, non-residential and bulk-acquisition schedules. Canada adds seven provincial references, Toronto municipal bands, 49 Nova Scotia municipalities and two named Quebec city schedules; other Quebec municipalities and unsupported transfers require a separately verified manual amount.
