Compass Concierge is a fully outsourced Stamp Duty Land Tax service designed for law firms that want to remove SDLT from their internal workload entirely.
Compass takes full responsibility for the SDLT process, operating as an outsourced SDLT department rather than a support tool. This allows firms to handle SDLT compliantly without taking on regulatory or professional risk associated with providing tax advice.
The service manages the entire SDLT lifecycle, including client liaison, accurate SDLT calculations, preparation and submission of returns to HMRC, and post completion support. All work is carried out by SDLT specialists and is indemnified and audited, giving firms confidence that submissions are correct and defensible.
Outsourcing SDLT through Concierge significantly reduces professional indemnity exposure and removes the risk of errors in complex or unusual transactions. It also frees up conveyancing teams from time consuming SDLT calculations and submissions, allowing fee earners to focus on legal work.
