Overview

The Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) allows individuals and businesses to authorise an agent or trusted helper to act on their behalf in tax matters. By granting this authority, you allow Stamp Duty Advice Bureau (trading as Land Tax Advice) to communicate with WRA on your behalf regarding Land Transaction Tax (LTT).

Why Authorise an Agent?

Authorising an agent means:

  • WRA can discuss your tax affairs with your agent.
  • The agent can request information, refunds, or represent you during a tax review or appeal.
  • You will receive confirmation from WRA once the authorisation is processed. Save
