Tax form 30 & 210

I have successfully completed form 210 both when it was just a paper form and now online. However a friend has bought a property and has tried to complete the form 210 and had problems as they were not get 1 error code referring to them not being recognised. I checked the form over and see no mistakes on it. However also get the same error.

They had some problem when lawyer got their first NIE number, so I suggested they go back to him and ask him to for advice. He said they were required to complete form 30 before they can complete the form 210 online.

Is this correct now have they changed the goal posts for people who have bought properties after a certain date?

Answering my own question after a google search found this ;

Which basically explains that if its your first time making a payment of tax then you do need to complete Form 030.

Therefore anyone buying a property now and wanting to pay any tax online will have to complete 030 before they can complete 210 for the first time.
