Academy land and buildings collection tool workbook

You can use the workbook to help prepare for the return. It will show you all of the data fields in the LBCT form, including the non-land and building leases section and additional questions for some occupancies. These are clearly marked in the Excel workbook. You can tailor the Excel workbook to suit your circumstances by deleting sections that are not relevant.

Note that we will not accept the workbook as a submission, we will only accept returns made via the online form.
