Bar-coded SDLT returns

Time is running out for those who do not file SDLT returns on-line. From 1 November 2008, no SDLT returns with barcodes (generated by some commercial software products and the HMRC CD-ROM) will be accepted by HMRC. Any received after that date will be returned with a rejection letter, explaining that the return is no longer valid. The taxpayer would instead need to use the on-line service, or the hard copy tax form. See End of bar-coded SDLT returns.
