Stamp Duty

Following discussions with the Ministry of Finance, a new opinion has emerged concerning stamp duty on loans from foreign shareholders. Contrary to an earlier formal opinion that no stamp duty arose on loans from a foreign shareholder where the funds were abroad at the time of entering into the loan, it now seems that in the Ministry's opinion, such loans are subject to stamp duty.
