The Hon Mr Justice Lightman
Stamp Duty
The claimants sought to reduce liability for stamp duty by arranging an intermediate sale to a company followed by a scheme of regular payments. Held: The scheme was not effective to save stamp duty. The combined effect of the sections was to impose the liability for duty on the considerations paid by both the purchaser company and the sub-purchaser. As a matter of principle a conveyanc by a vendor to a subpurchaser was chargeable to duty by reference both to the consideration moving from purchaser to vendor and to the consideration moving from subpurchaser to purchaser.
