I move:—
(1) That, subject to the provisions of this Resolution, the scale set out in the Schedule to this Resolution shall, in the case of persons dying on or after the date of the passing of this Act, be substituted for the scale set out in the Second Schedule to the Finance Act, 1924 (No. 27 of 1924) as the scale of rates of estate duty.
(2) That where an interest in expectancy within the meaning of Part 1 of the Finance Act, 1894, in any property has before the 21st day of April, 1926, been bona fide sold or mortgaged for full consideration in money or money's worth, then no other duty on that property shall be payable by the purchaser or mortgagee when the interest falls into possession than would have been payable if this Resolution had not been passed, and in the case of a mortgage any higher duty payable by the mortgagor shall rank as a charge subsequent to that of the mortgagee.
