Details

This legislation will change the Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax rules so that shares transferred to a clearance service or depositary receipt issuer as a result of the exercise of an option will be charged the 1.5% higher rate of stamp tax based on either their market value or the option strike price, whichever is higher.
