Online SDLT Submission for a leasehold property

Postby jamiecole » Thu Jun 02, 2022 10:52 am

Hi

So I have been filling in the stamp duty submission for a leasehold property.

For the "Description of the transaction" I get the impression that I select A - based on the guidance here: https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/information/help?helpcategory=stampTaxes&affinitygroup=agent&helpid=descriptionOfTransaction

For "Interest transferred or created" I select Long Leasehold at a ground rent with vacant possession (its a 125 year leasehold flat, vacant).

I then receive questions titled "About the Lease". I can fill these in, but when you produce the PDF return the section "ABOUT NEW LEASES" is populated. This isn't a new lease? Have I done something wrong?

Hi - what was the outcome of this?

I have the same question. The linked guidance makes it seems to imply you out FH for long leasehold.

HMRC phone lines are sooo busy.
