Barristers

Public Notice 700/44 Barristers and Advocates has been revised to reflect the introduction of an online system for deregistering from VAT and some changes to office addresses.

Stamp duty

From 1 October 2014, taxpayers filing a return on paper (form SDLT1, SDLT3 and/or SDLT4) must enter a valid local authority code. Failure to do so will result in HMRC rejecting the return.
