Finance Act, 1895

Amendment of 54 & 55 Vict. c. 39. as to the payment of stamp duty on certain foreign securities.

14. When foreign securities within the meaning of sections eighty-two and eighty-three of the Stamp Act, 1891, are issued in the United Kingdom, and the interest thereon is not payable in the United Kingdom, and such evidence of the amount of the securities as the Commissioners of Inland Revenue require is produced to them, then the Commissioners, if in their discretion they consider it expedient to do so, may accept payment of the amount of stamp duty which would be payable if all the said securities were duly stamped, and on such payment may dispense with the necessity of the securities being stamped. The Commissioners shall give notice in the London Gazette of any such dispensation.
