Stamp Duty?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could get some help please? I appreciate these questions are very beginner but I’m brand new to stocks and want to be clear about everything first!
So, when I looked at a UK stock it said there was a stamp duty fee of 0.5%. My question is, if I bought a stock with that fee applied, will that be deducted from the stock buy/sell price or is it charged seperately? Is it a one time thing or is it for as long as you hold the stock? Same question but with a FX fee of 0.45% please. The last thing I want to do is have loads of money come out of my bank account seperately every so often but is that how it works? Please can someone break it down into its my basic form? For example, β€œthe price of a share is Β£10 but when bought it is Β£9.55. This is a one time fee as part of the stock price.” Thank you so much in advance!
