No barcoded SDLT returns accepted from 1 November 2008

From 1 November 2008 no SDLT returns with barcodes (generated by some commercial software products and the HMRC CD-ROM) will be accepted. Any received after that date will be returned to you with a rejection letter, explaining that the return is no longer valid. The letter will ask you to re-submit, using either online filing, or a ‘green & white’ paper return. To avoid any penalty or interest charges, you should provide the information needed and re-submit the return within the 30 day limit.

Of course, the fastest, most efficient way to submit SDLT returns is to file online. You can either use Stamp Taxes Online or a product provided by commercial software suppliers. If you haven’t already made the move to electronic filing, now is the time to take action. Call our Helpline on Tel 0845 603 0135 for a copy of our new Online Filing DVD which:
