Revenue Commissioners Expand
Cork Stamp Duty Office
The Revenue Commissioners have intro-
duced a new expanded stamp duty
service in their Cork office, which is
located in Government Buildings,
Sullivan's Quay. A stamping service has
in fact been provided by the Customs
and Excise Office in Cork since the end
of the last century, but until recently the
service was of a very limited nature.
Over the past two years, however, the
facilities have gradually been upgraded
with the provision of extra stamping
equipment, staff, accommodation and
technical training. The Cork Stamp Duty
Office now takes in duty of £13 million
per annum and is able to offer the full
range of services, including adjudication.
Callers to the public office can normally
have their deeds stamped on an "over the
counter" basis and postal cases are
turned around within a couple of days.
The expanded service was formally
launched by the Revenue Commiss-
ioners (in association with the Southern
Law Association) at a reception and
seminar held in Cork on 18 November.
Speaking at the launch,
Michael
O'Grady
, Assistant Secretary in the
Capital Taxes Division, said that the
At the launch were l-r: Tom Lennon, Collector, Customs & Excise, Cork: Michael
O'Gradx,
Assistant Secretary, Capital Taxes, Revenue Commissioners, and Frank Daly. Council Member of
the Law Society.
Revenue Commissioners had an
ongoing commitment to improving the
level of service to the taxpaying public
and their agents. He said the new
facility will be of particular benefit to
solicitors in the Cork area who can avail
of the counter service. He also
j
encouraged solicitors - particularly
j
those in the Munster region - to use the
Cork Office for postal cases. He paid
tribute to the Cork Office staff for their
professionalism and commitment and
said that, following on the success of
this venture, the Commissioners were
considering the possibility of further
regional Stamp Duty offices.
