It was announced in the 2005 budget that the Finance Bill 2005 would contain measures to eliminate the double stamp duty charge on financial cards where a person is merely switching from one provider to another. This was legislated for in the Finance Act 2005. Any further changes to stamp duties on financial cards will be considered in the context of the forthcoming budget.
