Apply for a refund of Stamp Duty Land Tax

How to use the service

You can apply for a refund either by: applying online writing to us To process refunds quickly, we will make the payment without checking eligibility. We reserve the right not to do so for revenue protection reasons. This means that even after a repayment has been made, we have not agreed that the refund is due. We have up to 9 months to make a compliance check on your amended return or claim. If you pay an agent to claim for you, you are still responsible for checking that your claim is correct. If you receive a repayment where the amount you claimed was not due, you must pay it back along with any interest due. If penalties apply, you must also pay them.
