Tax on a house purchase (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stamp duty

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

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
