Inter-Company Transfers:
Changes in Stamp Duties
Changes have recently been made in the Stamp Duties
which apply to certain inter-company transfers by the
"Imposition of Duties (No. 241) (Limit on Stamp Duty in
respect of Certain Transactions between Bodies
Corporate) Order 1979 - S.I. No. 244/1979. The
principal changes made by the Order are:
1 To extend the operation of the concessionary rate of
duty to bodies corporate.
2 To extend the operation of the concession to transfers
between companies in a group of companies, which
would not have been covered by the earlier
provisions; and
3 To provide that the relief from duty may be cancelled
if the transferor and transferee cease to be associated
in the prescribed manner within a period of two years
from the date of the conveyance, or if it is subse-
quently found that any declaration or other evidence
furnished was untrue.
The provisions of the Order are both complicated and
technical and it is suggested that practitioners should
familiarise themselves with its contents as soon as
possible.
