House purchase tax (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

stamp duty

(Other definitions for stamp duty that I've seen before include "House-buying tax" , "Tax receipted by affixing paper seal to deed" , "House purchase levy" , "Tax collected on legal documents" , "Kind of tax as on house purchase - or letter post?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
