This Act establishes the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax in Scotland as a consequence of the Scotland Act 2012, which assigns responsibility to the Scottish Parliament for taxes on land transactions and disposals to landfill. It defines which transactions are land transactions, and which interests are, and which are not, chargeable interests in land. It also provides for land transaction returns and for the payment of the tax and for tax relief.
