The Finance (Local Property Tax) Bill 2012 does not provide an exemption or concession for persons who paid large amounts of stamp duty. The Inter-Departmental Expert Group on the Design of a Property Tax (the “Thornhill Group”) recommended against allowances for Stamp Duty because such allowances would not be targeted at need.
