Objects and Reasons.
The object of this Bill is to prevent the evasion of Estate and Stamp Duties by providing that transfers of shares shall contain the true date of execution by the transferor, and that registration of transfers shall be effected promptly.
Provision is made for the payment of late registration duty.
Provision is also made for the payment of a nominal duty of two dollars only in the case of transfers to or by authorised bankers, where the transfer is executed by way of security for a loan, and in the case of transfers to authorised dealers.
