Finance Bill — New Clause 11 — Stamp Duty Reserve Tax on Surrenders of Units in Unit Trusts — 2 Jul 2013 at 19:45

The majority of MPs voted against requiring a report on the abolition of Stamp Duty Reserve Tax on surrenders of units in collective investment schemes.

Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT) is a tax on electronic 'paperless' share transactions; currently set at a flat rate of 0.5 per cent (rounded up or down to the nearest penny) based on what you give for the shares, not what the shares are worth.[1]

The 2013 Budget document states:

  • The Government will abolish the stamp duty reserve tax charge in Schedule 19 Finance Act 1999 on surrenders of units in collective investment schemes

The majority of MPs rejected a proposal to add the following new clause to the Finance Bill:

  • The Chancellor shall, within six months of Royal Assent, publish and lay before the House of Commons a report detailing the distributional impact of any changes to or abolition of Schedule 19 to the Finance Act 1999.
