- is subject to stamp duty as in the example at SDLTM49600c
- is presented for stamping along with the executed lease (whether or not the executed lease effects a Stamp Duty Land Tax transaction)
then the agreement is treated for the purposes of the Stamp Duty Land Tax provisionsrelating to interest and penalties as if it had been executed on the same date as the datethe lease was executed.
