Stamp duty applies to a conveyance, transfer or a lease of land where the instrument was executed prior to 1 December 2003. For instruments executed on or after 1 December 2003, stamp duty applies only to transfers of stock and marketable securities and to certain transfers of interest in partnerships.

Land transactions which become effective on or after 1 December 2003 are subject to stamp duty land tax.

If you are in any doubt as to whether stamp duty applies to a particular transaction please, contact the Stamp Taxes Helpline.
