ATED is an annual tax payable, mainly by companies, that own UK residential property valued at more than £500,000.

The ATED chargeable period runs from 1 April to 31 March and the amount of tax charged is by reference to a banding system based on the value of the property. There are a number of reliefs where a property is used for commercial purposes.

In the 2016 Autumn Statement it was announced that the 2017 to 2018 annual charges will be increased by CPI. The new charges apply from 1 April 2017.

The table below shows the annual charge amounts for the 2016 to 2017 chargeable period and the revised chargeable amounts for 2017 to 2018 chargeable period beginning on 1 April 2017.
