SDLT6

A booklet giving broad guidance on the completion of a land transaction return (forms SDLT1, SDLT2, SDLT3 and SDLT4). It is intended for practitioners and those purchasers who complete their own returns and covers the majority of straightforward transactions.

SDLT8 & 8A

A form, and its reminder, sent by HM Revenue & Customs to the purchaser or the purchaser's agent if information on a land transaction return that has been submitted is incorrect, inconsistent or incomplete. The form identifies the questions and answers that need attention. The purchaser or agent should make corrected entries on the form and return it to us with the purchaser's signature. We cannot issue a Revenue certificate (SDLT5) until the information is consistent and complete. The 30-day period from the effective date of the transaction within which the land transaction return must be received by us continues to run until we receive the corrected information. See SDLTM60220 for further guidance.
