9th July. Twenty-seven Members present. Estate Duty. In reply to an inquiry from a member, the Council expressed the opinion that where a deceased who was domiciled in the Irish Free State leaves Irish Free State assets and English assets, the convenient procedure to obtain a grant is in the first instance to pass in London a Schedule of the English assets and pay the duty thereon, and then proceed to obtain a grant in the Irish Free State. Upon production of the receipt for duty paid on the English assets no duty will be claimed to be payable in the Irish Free State on the English assets, when applying to obtain a grant in the Irish Free State. Land Registry. In response to a request from a member it was resolved to request the Inland Revenue authorities to have Land Registry stamps kept on sale at the Law Courts, Dublin Castle, and at College Green Post Office, in addition to the Ormond Quay Post Office. Stamp Adjudication Office. In response to a request from a member it was resolved to request the Inland Revenue authorities to have the number of the staff of the Inland Revenue Adjudication Office increased, and that attendance should be given in the office up to four o'clock p.m. 23rd July.
