| Stamp Duty Question
I completed the purchase of my new house on the 17th of March this year. The solicitors should have sent the SDLT1 form into the inland revenue. Yesterday i get an SDLT12 in the post informing me that i've copped for a £100 fine. I rang up the revenue this morning who tell me that the fine is because they didnt receive the SDLT1 untill the 13 June, over two months after the deadline.
Obviously this is the solicitors fault and presuambly i should expect them to pay the fine? Am i right in thinking that?
What should my next step be? I'd rather not phone them becasue i havent got a clue what i'm talking about when it comes to things like this and they have a good method of making me feel stupid everytime i talk to them! I'll probably end up crying cos i'm very angry about this!
