Online filing of trust and estate returns

A new online filing system for trust and estate tax returns took effect from 1 July 2010. 

The new system is expected to reduce the amount of time it takes for HMRC to process any tax repayments as well as shortening the time taken to deal with queries relating to the return.

Prior to this change, tax returns submitted online were printed out and input manually by HMRC creating the potential for transcription errors!
