Stamp Duty Land Tax reference checker

When you make a Stamp Duty Land Tax payment you'll need your unique transaction reference number (UTRN). You'll find this on your:

  • receipt (called the 'Submission Receipt and Electronic SDLT5' certificate) if you filed online
  • paper return.

The UTRN is made up of 11 characters, for example: 123456789ML.

This checker only confirms that the characters are in the correct format to allow your payment to go direct to your account.

To check that your reference number is in the correct format, please enter it in the box below then click on the 'Check reference' button.

Press 'Clear' to clear the number and start again.


When you make your payment please enter the reference number in exactly the same format with no spaces. If you do not, your payment will take longer to go to your account.
