MSP/MP Enquiries
Taxpayers may occasionally write to their MSP/MP to discuss matters regarding LBTT and request that their MSP/MP represent them to investigate specific concerns or issues with Revenue Scotland.
To be able to discuss specific taxpayer information with MSPs/MPs, Revenue Scotland is required to hold a mandate which has been signed by the taxpayer, confirming that the MSP/MP is authorised to speak to Revenue Scotland on their behalf and that Revenue Scotland can disclose information about the taxpayer to the MSP/MP.
A copy of the mandate form is available below:
Any further queries should be emailed to info@revenue.scot
Media Enquiries
All media enquiries should be emailed to info@revenue.scot.
