The following letter has been received
in reference to the bespeaking of copies of
documents,
the originals of which bear
revenue duty :—
Land Registry, Central Office,
Chancery Street, Dublin,
15th November, 1929
Dear Sir,
I
am
directed by
the Registrar
to
nitimate to the Incorporated Law Society
that he has been in correspondence with the
Revenue Commissioners with reference to
a claim made by them as to the payment of
Revenue duty on copy documents bespoken
in this Registry,
The Registrar is satisfied, having regard to
Section 63 of the Stamp Act, 1891, that
copies of instruments, on which Revenue
duty was impressed on the original, are
liable to I/- stamp duty, save in isolated
cases of certified copies requiring a lesser
duty than I/- by reason of the original
instrument bearing stamp duty of less than
*/-•
In these circumstances, it will be necessary
for Solicitors bespeaking copy instruments
in this Registry, to obtain from this Office
on and after the 25th instant, a blank form
and to have I/- Revenue duty impressed
thereon at the Stamp Office, Dublin Castle,
pending arrangements being made by the
Revenue Commissioners with the Minister
for Posts and Telegraphs for a supply of the
necessary stamped forms being made avail
able to the public at
the Upper Ormond
Quay Post Office.
We have been informed by the Revenue
Commissioners that they are in negotiations
with the Post Office Authorities with a view
to this arrangement being brought
into
force.
