Streamline Your HMRC Stamp Duty Land Tax Returns with Paperform

Purchasing property in the UK comes with mandatory HMRC reporting, and Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) returns must be filed within 14 days of completion. Whether you're a conveyancing solicitor, property lawyer, or accountant handling multiple transactions, this HMRC Stamp Duty Land Tax Return template helps you gather accurate information, calculate rates automatically, and prepare compliant submissions efficiently.

This template is designed for legal professionals, conveyancers, accountants, and property firms who need to collect comprehensive SDLT information from clients and ensure nothing is missed before filing with HMRC. Instead of chasing clients through email chains or wrestling with spreadsheets, you can send one branded form that captures everything—property details, purchase price, buyer status, reliefs, and additional dwelling supplement eligibility—all in one place.

Automatic calculations and compliance checks

With Paperform's built-in calculation engine, this template automatically applies the correct SDLT rates based on property value, first-time buyer status, and whether the purchase qualifies as an additional dwelling (triggering the 3% or 5% surcharge). Conditional logic shows or hides relevant sections based on buyer circumstances, making the form feel simpler and more intuitive for clients while ensuring you collect all the information HMRC requires.

Seamless workflows with Stepper

Once a client submits their information, you can use Stepper to automate what happens next. Route the submission to the right team member, update your case management system, generate a summary PDF, send follow-up instructions, or trigger reminders for the 14-day filing deadline. By connecting Paperform to your existing tools—whether that's Clio, Xero, Airtable, or a simple Google Sheet—you can turn every SDLT submission into a structured, trackable workflow that reduces admin time and keeps cases moving forward.

Designed for UK legal and accounting professionals

This template is built specifically for solicitors, conveyancers, licensed conveyancers, accountants, and property advisors handling residential property transactions across England and Northern Ireland. It reflects current HMRC guidance on SDLT rates, thresholds, and reliefs, giving you a professional starting point that you can customise to match your firm's branding and internal processes.

Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and trusted by professional services firms worldwide. With features like conditional logic, secure data handling, custom domains, and powerful integrations, it's the perfect platform for firms that need flexible, professional forms without the need for developers or IT support.
