*Government stamp duty is a Government tax.
From 2024, we will be required to collect GSD in January instead of April.
This means that on 1 January 2024, a reduced amount of €22.50 will be charged to your account for the shorter period from April 2023 to December 2023. From 1 January 2025, the charge will revert to €30 each year.
