Read the full outcome
Detail of outcome
The call for evidence opened a conversation on potential options for modernisation of the Stamp Taxes on shares framework. It sought views on what the principles and design for a new framework should be, and what changes within a modernisation programme should be prioritised.
We received 33 written responses, along with comments made during meetings with stakeholders.
The government has carefully considered the responses and will explore the feasibility and implications associated with the key priority areas identified, including by setting up a Working Group to work collaboratively with stakeholders.
Original call for evidence
Call for evidence description
This call for evidence invites views on the principles and design of a new framework for Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT), both of which tax transactions in shares and securities.
This will inform a longer-term modernisation of the regimes by seeking views on the principles and design of a new framework, and the prioritisation of elements within the overall modernisation programme.
We are not seeking views on detailed policy or legislative proposals.
