Common questions

I bought in Scotland or Wales. Is this my line?

No. Scotland charges Land and Buildings Transaction Tax through Revenue Scotland, and Wales charges Land Transaction Tax through the Welsh Revenue Authority.

Can I claim the higher-rate refund by phone?

The claim itself goes in online or by post, but this line handles questions about eligibility and progress.
