Mar 22, 2024 | bestexecution.net | Laurie McAughtry

Of the numerous challenges to institutional execution at the moment, one of the first to be raised was the eternal issue of stamp duty reserve tax (SDRT) – currently calculated as 0.5% of the total value of the relevant asset, and collected at the time of transfer.
