Revenue has updated the Stamp Duty Manual which provides guidance on the stamp duty relief, under section 81AA SDCA 1999, in respect of certain transfers of agricultural land to young trained farmers. The manual has been updated to clarify the circumstances in which the relief can apply where the land is conveyed or transferred into joint ownership.
The updated guidance also addresses the application of limit on the relief in certain circumstances including where the land has been acquired by a young trained farmer and their spouse/civil partner who is not a young trained farmer.
