  What next  
  1. Why use SDLT.co.uk?  
 

(Q) What are the Feature Rich attributes of SDLT.co.uk?

(A) Our connectivity model is far safer and practically easier for the conveyancer.

  • If HMRC have a system problem at their end, you can continue to work as normal.
    SDLT.co.uk will store up the submissions until ‘the other end of the equation sorts itself out’.
    You can not ‘Time-out’ with SDLT.co.uk like you can with the HMRC online offering. You should think of SDLT.co.uk as having a better contingency planning model than the HMRC version and we think this is a increasing concern in todays environment.
  • SDLT.co.uk will produce the following, where the HMRC system does not; 
    A print out of the data to show the client along with the appropriate declaration for the client to sign, authorising you.
    A File note, for your all important records,
    A Cashiers Chitty, making payment instructions clear, accurate and easy for cashiers
    An audit trail of whats been happening, to give you peace of mind that all is working and all is well.
    You can pre-populate any question with your standard answer making it quick to start a form and easy to amend particular matter detail.
  • The HMRC systems in the past have in some cases been a negative experince for many users. We have worked really hard at making SDLT.co.uk a positive experince, the data entry screens look like the form, and it works!

·         SDLT.co.uk is a much smaller organisation than HMRC; with real people at the end of the email, phone and fax who actually care about ‘service level’ and ‘response times’.

·         SDLT.co.uk intergrates with the popular Best of Breed conveyancing case management ConveyProControl making it effortless to complete an SDLT.

·         SDLT.co.uk will welcome approaches from other case management suppliers whom wish to export data into SDLT.co.uk automatically. We will seriously consider and work to intergrate, collaborate and co-operate with other suppliers – its in both our interests.

  3. What happens after I get my username and password?  
 
The username and password allow you to access the 'download' area at www.sdlt.co.uk to download the free software for the "Compose Offline/Submit" Online version or if you want to use the fully online managed service the username and password will enable you to access the service straight away at https://online.sdlt.co.uk.
 
 
 
  4. Do I need a Government Gateway ID?  
 
Yes a Government Gateway ID is needed in order for you to make "live" submissions via SDLT.co.uk. To discuss this issue please call the SDLT.co.uk Helpline on 0845 6526 855 before going any further. We can make this process quick and easy. 

 
  5. What do I need to use SDLT.co.uk?  
 

For the "Compose Offline, Submit Online" System

  • An IBM compatible personal computer that is up to 5 years old approximately running the Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4  or above operating system.
  • An internet connection
The usual I.T. adage of the newer and bigger the better applies. However, as a minimum you NEED a PC with Windows 2000 SP4 upwards and a basic Dial Up account for internet access.  BUT to download the FREE software it will take a long time - you might call us and ask for a CD if you have a dial-up.
 
Ideally you WANT Windows XP with a broadband connection, with 256MB RAM +. The main download is 35MB in size.
 
For the "Fully Managed Online" Service
 
A computer with a  web browser (eg Internet Explorer) and ideally a broadband internet connection. We would not suggest using a computer that is more than 5 years old.
 
  6. Is there anything else I need to make online submissions via SDLT.co.uk?  
 
No. As long as you have completed the Direct Debit Mandate and returned it to ourselves. (see Payments section). Remember your first  3 successful submissions are FREE of charge.
 
  7. Trouble with the Government Gateway registration as an LLP  
 
Firms who are a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) registering at the Gateway will use a CRN given to them by Companies House.  However, in the majority of cases they are not liable to pay Corporation Tax and, therefore a COTAX record is not set-up by the tax office.  The setting up of a COTAX record instigates the flow of known facts (KF’s) to the Gateway.  This is why they are not present for LLP cases.

LLP’s have a partnership Self-Assessment (SA) record - you should use the partnership SA Unique Taxpayer number when applying for a Government Gateway ID.

Ring the SDLT.co.uk Helpline and let us help you sort out your Government Gateway setup easily and quickly - 0845 6526 855.
