Meetings
The Committee met 34 times during the reporting period.
He noted that “Even though we send out reminders to registrants two weeks before the end of their six-month period, give information on their dates and…have provided improved data on the website to make it clearer for them, we find that the issue with dates can sometimes lead to their being confused or forgetting.
On 13 January 2021, the Scottish Government responded as follows:
The Scottish Government is grateful to the Committee for identifying this point. The cut-off date is intended to coincide with the coming into force date of the instrument and should be the 24th February.

The Bill
The Bill has a narrow scope, namely, to make the amendments made by the 2017 Order retrospective, enabling couples who have paid the additional amount of LBTT, in the scenario described, to claim a repayment regardless of the date on which they entered into the contract or the effective date of the transaction.
They had a huge exercise to undertake to pay out their cost of living payments, and we agreed on 31 January because that was the date that the DWP could deliver to. It did deliver to that date—we received the data.
