Stamp duty on swap of shares


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
When one company acquires another by issuing its own shares as consideration, stamp duty is generally payable. The Stamp Duty Act does not provide specific rules for share exchanges, meaning the standard rules for share transfers apply. This typically means stamp duty is due on the value of the shares being transferred.
