STSM031230 - Scope of Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT): Transfers of listed securities and connected persons: Listed securities

Finance Bill 2018-19 introduces legislation to provide for a new Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT) market value rule where listed securities are transferred to a company or its nominee (whether or not for consideration), and the person transferring the securities is connected with the company, or is the nominee of a person connected with the company.

“Listed securities” are chargeable securities which are regularly traded on a regulated market, a multilateral trading facility or a recognised foreign exchange.

Regulated market, multilateral trading facility and recognised foreign exchange have the same meaning as in section 88B Finance Act 1986.
