From 1 April 2018,
when you apply to us to create or update title registers of land or property in
Wales, you will need to provide evidence that the correct Welsh Land
Transaction Tax has been paid. If you do not do this, we will not be able to
complete your application.
This aligns
with our practice for land and property in England where you must provide us
with evidence that the correct Stamp Duty Land Tax has been paid.
This change to our registration requirements follows the Welsh
Government’s confirmation that a new tax, called Land Transaction Tax, will come into effect on 1 April 2018; and a new revenue authority, the Welsh
Revenue Authority (WRA), will have powers to undertake its collection.

Please note,
you or your clients may need to refer to the appropriate revenue authorities
for further information about the tax changes from 1 April 2018. See guidance from:

Government departments, and share your views about the changes we have made on
