You must login to download the contents of this EFIS.

Following Royal Assent of the Finance Bill 2004 on 22nd July 2004, the Policy Team at HMRC and H.M. Land Registry have approved these amendments and additions to an SDLT60 ''Self-Certificate''.

1. Grant of a lease for no chargeable consideration (that is, no premium and no rent of any monetary value).

2. Transfer or assignment of a leasehold interest in land (in Scotland, assignation of a tenant's interest under a lease) where both the following elements are satisfied:

(i) The term of the lease when granted was less than seven years.
(ii) The amount of any consideration is not such as to attract a charge to SDLT at a rate of 1% or more (ignoring the availability of any relief).

3. Land transaction in residential property (other than the grant or assignment of a lease) where the chargeable consideration, together with that of any linked transactions, is less than �1000.

4. Transfer to a beneficiary entitled under a will, or on intestacy, where the only consideration given is the assumption of 'secured debt' as defined in paragraph 3A of Schedule 3 Finance Act 2003.

5. Transfer of interest in a partnership for chargeable consideration not exceeding the zero rate threshold, which is not notifiable by virtue of paragraph 30 of Schedule 15 of the Finance Act 2003.

We have therefore inserted these descriptions on the SDLT60 alongside a tick-box.

The SDLT4 and SA905 have also received minor field amendments and are available for your use.

Please also find available the IHT100(ALL), IHT200(ALL), IHT200(TC) IHT200_WS and IHTD9, which have all received macro amendments.
