There is an alternative, provided by Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) which requires a slow registration process and is slow to input answers to questions. There are 23% more questions than with a comparable SDLT.
1.4million Property Tax transactions, only 55,000 affect Welsh LTT that’s 4%.
By definition of 4%, there are ‘occasional’ users, whom will not be ‘familiar with how to?’ complete an LTT, as a result work slowly through the form completion process.
‘Occasional users’ have an option to register with WRA (takes around 2 weeks) but then will not use the credentials for many months, forgetting what to do and how to do it, understandably.
Firstly, LTTax.co.uk will solve this ‘occasional’ use problem. 85% of LTT questions are the same as SDLT hence approaching LTT from a familiar
SDLT approach make life straight forward.
Secondly, LTTax.co.uk are specialists in completing SDLT/LTT forms and offer a premium service that is a disbursement cost of £50+ VAT that means when you are nearly out of time to do the form or register with WRA (or bluntly can't be bothered with the hassle of being registered with WRA), can do the form processing for you. You fill it in, we process it and return to your original data entry the certificate in a matter of an hour. Service agreement is 4hrs turnaround, 9am to 5pm, accepting limitations of WRA cause are outside of service level agreement.
LTTax.co.uk suits those looking for easy pre-population, either from;
a) case management input. Many efficient and highly cost effective Property departments have invested in technology and time to create streamlined NON data repetitive input systems. These ideally suit www.LTTax.co.uk whose own API connectivity allows for single sign-on, touch a button and pre-existing data marries into a LTT template and the form is complete. Reminds you of any missing unique data entry, i.e. is transaction subject to X boundary issues? And then outputs to a PDF including a covering letter. Both of which are posted to WRA. Since that’s the only WRA option at the moment.
Then, at the touch of the next button the eAP1 for HMLR is auto completed and ready for attachments to be attached, and at least that is eSubmitted into HMLR. Making a very efficient, future-effective, digital process.
b) or from;
standalone input via LTT templates set up for Organisation or Individual, freehold or leasehold. For similar purchase transactions the copy form button saves lots of time and regularly used contact details can be tagged to be stored for re-use on different transactions later on.
Alerts within application and email reminders will help you manage a busy workload of when should that certificate be back? If its not back by the expected date, easy to send chase up correspondence is to hand.
All the above is recorded in a transaction audit trail, of who did what when, so there is no ambiguous interpretation of the situation
