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

Frequency/market practice: No stamp duty applies. Transfer tax applies (sometimes involvement of a brokerage house may provide for an exemption) and is borne by the buyer according to the statutory provisions. Notarial fees are usually borne by the buyer, but are sometimes shared.

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

Frequency/market practice: It is common to have tax representations and warranties/relevant indemnity included in the purchase agreement.
