HMRC Tax Adviser Registration & Its Wider Implications for Residential Conveyancers

Introduction

From May 2026, HMRC will require all tax advisers, including conveyancers submitting SDLT returns, to register and meet minimum standards. While most residential conveyancers already follow robust professional processes, the new rules bring wider implications for compliance, risk management and client interaction.

This webinar explains what residential conveyancers need to know about HMRC registration, the broader compliance expectations, potential powers and sanctions and practical strategies to manage risk.

Through illustrative scenarios, participants will gain a clear understanding of how to maintain professional standards and minimise potential issues with HMRC - all without giving tax advice.
