Share Transfers

Procedure for making a share transfer:

Old share certificates are cancelled and new certificates issued under the company seal of the company
The company's memorandum & articles must be inspected to check restrictions on the transfer of shares
A stock transfer form is sent to the Revenue Commissioners if the value of the transfer is in excess of €1,000. All share transfers between related parties, either by blood or marriage must be submitted to the Revenue Commissioners.
Stamp duty is levied at the rate of 1% of the consideration paid for the shares or the market value, which ever is higher
Entries must be made in the company's minute book, register of transfers and register of members

We can attend to the share transfer secretarial requirements:

The Revenue Commissioners will impose surcharges, if the value given for the shares is subsequently found to be understated.
