Irish Revenue Commissioner Announces Stamp Duty Regulations Update
Ireland's Revenue Commissioner, Michael O'Grady, has this week announced changes to the Republic's Stamp Duty regulations - with particular regard to the Designation of Clearing Houses section. According to the amendments, as at 4th August 2008, the European Multilateral
Clearing Facility N.V. has been designated as a recognised clearing house for the
purposes of section 75A (inserted by section 109 of the
Finance Act 2007) of the Stamp Duties Consolidation Act 1999. Mr O'Grady explained: "Section 75A of the
Stamp Duties Consolidation Act 1999 provides for an exemption from stamp duty
on a transfer of securities to and from a recognised clearing house, commonly
known as a “CCP”, in specified circumstances." He concluded: "The purpose of these Regulations is the designation by the Revenue Commissioners,
as on and from 4 August 2008, of European Multilateral Clearing Facility N.V.
as a recognised clearing house for the purposes of section 75A of the Stamp
Duties Consolidation Act 1999." .
