Stamp duty and tax Start Comparison
If stamp duty is payable, is it normally shared?

Frequency/market practice: In the sale of a business, stamp duties are generally borne by the buyer. In the share sales, the so-called Tobin Tax is statutorily borne by the buyer.

Is a separate tax covenant/indemnity or tax deed common?

Frequency/market practice: Rarely; it is common to have tax representations and warranties/relevant indemnity, usually included in the purchase agreement, but not separate tax indemnity deeds.
