STAMP DUTY ON SHARE CERTIFICATE

Few Important points regarding stamp duty on share certificate:

1. Stamp duty is payable on issue price not on the value of the security.

2. In a case of a large number of shares, stamp duty can be payable in a lump sum and this fact should be mentioned on share certificate.

3. STAMP DUTY ON SHARE IS STATE SUBJECT BUT STAMP DUTY ON DEBENTURE IS UNION SUBJECT.

4. The company should pay the stamp duty according to the state in which the registered office of the company is situated, not in the state where Board Meeting is held to consider an issue of shares.

5. One issue is whether the stamp duty is payable on duplicate/split share certificate or not. Section3 of the Indian Stamp Act states that every instrument mentioned in the schedule of the Indian stamp act which, not having been previously executed by any person is executed in India; shall be chargeable with stamp duty of the amount indicated in schedule I.

6. Stamp duty is payable on a face value of shares including premium.

7. Stamp duty on share certificates comes under the stamp act of the respective state.
8. Stamp duty on share transfer comes under Indian Stamp Act.
