Stamp Duty Land Tax: Underpayments

Asked by James WildConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 11 March 2026UIN 117423

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many HMRC investigations into the potential underpayment of stamp duty land tax are ongoing.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

HMRC are unable to provide the current number of ongoing Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) investigations because live case data isn’t routinely released. This is due to the way in which enquiries are handled and categorised, as they have not been through the end of year assurance process.
