Detail

The draft statutory instrument would take effect on 1 March 2019. It would make consequential amendments as a result of provisions in clause 45 of the Finance (No 3) Bill 2017 to 2019, which reduce the time limit to file a Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) return and pay the tax due.

It would also reduce the number of questions on the SDLT return.

We are also inviting comments on a proposed schedule of tenancies which would replace the 2 schedules of tenancies currently in the Stamp Duty Land Tax Manual
