Creating your e-services account with HMRC

In order to submit live SDLT data, you will need to create an online account with HMRC (click here). In order to do this, you will need to supply: i) your postcode, and ii) your unique tax reference (UTR) from self-assessment or corporation tax procedures. In return, you will receive: i) a 'STORN' number to identify your office, and ii) individual user names and passwords.

Once you have obtained account details, you will need to enter them in the relevant eSDLT dialog ("Configure e-submission engine" button on page 1 of eSDLT). If you have not entered any account details, then the eSDLT form will work in "demo mode"; this allows you to gain familiarity with the process before sending "live" data.

 

Typical submission process

Once you have entered your HMRC account details in the eSDLT configuration dialog, you are ready to submit data.

1. Create a new eSDLT form, fill in the relevant data, and save it. You do not need to be online to do this.
2. Click the 'Submit to HMRC' button on page 1. The "e-submission report" dialog will appear, and you will receive one of 3 responses:

  • Success. Data submitted has been accepted by HMRC. Transaction complete.  Fig 2
  • Busy. Data was received, but the HMRC service was too busy to process it. It has been stored by HMRC, and you will need to check it's status by manually clicking 'Submit' after the specified time period (usually 10 minutes) has expired. This is called 'Polling'. Fig 3
  • Failure. If the data you submit is incomplete, or contains logic errors, HMRC validation service will ask you to resubmit after amending certain values. Details will be given. Fig 4

3. You may need to repeat step 2 until you receive a Success response.
4. Print page 1 of eSDLT, (acts as SDLT5) for lodgment with the Land Registry.

 

Case Management

Our eSDLT form can be integrated with your case management software in the usual manner.

Your STORN, username and password can be filled directly into three hidden fields on page 1 of the form. If present, the submission engine will use these values to authenticate with the HMRC service: Field 22 =STORN; Field 23 =username; Field 24 =password.
 

Multiple Vendors, Purchasers, Properties, Leases

Pages 8 - 11 (containing SDLT2, SDLT3 & SDLT4 data) can be repeatedly appended to the rear of the form (EDIT>COPY PAGE, EDIT>PASTE PAGE) to act as continuation when required.

If multiple SDLT4(Transaction details) are used, they will be associated with SDLT4(Lease details) by the order in which the pages appear in the form: the first SDLT4(T) page will be associated with first SLDT(L) page, and so on. SDLT4(T) data associated with the transaction as a whole should be placed in the first SDLT4(T) page.
