Committee on Finance. - Finance Bill, 1961—Second Stage (Resumed).

Deputy Ryan referred to the stamp duty on the purchase of property. He said it was very, very high. He made the point that a man purchasing a house should not have to pay the very high rate of stamp duty exacted at the moment. When a house is bought by a purchaser from a builder for the first time, the rate of stamp duty is not much more than nominal. However, I do not profess to know all about the operations of stamp duty on the purchase of property. It is a matter I shall have to look into. I do not think there is any other point to which I need reply, but, if I have missed any point, let me say that it was not because I was trying to avoid it.
