STAMP DUTIES :

T he following resolution was passed by the Council and the Secretary was directed to send a copy to the Minister for Finance: “ That the Council should renew the protest against the continuance o f stamp duty at the rate of 5 per cent, on the transfer of land and house property, and should urge most strongly that the former rate of duty should be restored, on the ground that the duty was originally introduced as a temporary measure, and that its continuance impedes and obstructs the legitimate sale and transfer o f property, and has anti-social consequences where young people contemplating marriage are con­ cerned ; that the Council should also point out to the Minister the special hardship imposed on pur­ chasers o f the smaller type o f house who are usually people of modest means, and in the case of voluntary transfers of property from husband to wife, or wife to husband, on account o f the exclusion o f the last mentioned transfers from the benefit o f Section 13 (6) o f the Finance (N o . 2) Act, 1947.”
