Emailed the solicitor and she said she paid it days ago. Might give HMRC a call in the morning and see if we can apply for a refund.davidmcn said:

Why would she have paid it before completion? If the return is wrong then it can be corrected anyway.Luckystarr_2 said:

I would contact HMRC as you say but I would also be lodging a complaint that your solicitor has been negligent in the handling of it.Luckystarr_2 said:We completed this morning. I feel your pain0 -
It was a question - hence the question mark. I had seen something on the BBC news that indicated it only came into play from midnight. Thanks for clearing that up.
