stamp duty
(economics) A tax levied upon certain documents, a stamp being applied to show that tax has been paid.
Seen in the wild
[3/3] paid is 98.2953 million yuan (including stamp duty, transaction commission and other transaction costs).
So the Clacton Crypto-spiv’s latest excuse is “there’s more than one way to pay for a house” so presumably there is more than one way to avoid paying £44,000 in stamp duty? ‘Prime Minister in waiting’! 🤮🤮🤮
