I am advised by Revenue that Stamp Duty is payable on documents that transfer ownership of property.  Once that document has been executed (signed), no interest or surcharge arise if the Stamp Duty return is filed within 30 days of date the document was executed.  In practice Revenue allow up to 44 days. Returns can, of course, be filed late on occasion. For these reasons, it is not possible as yet to assess or compare the period preceding the Budget with the same period last year.

Question No. 200 answered with Question No. 189.
