About this statute

The financial transactions tax is an indirect tax on share acquisitions, and it applies regardless of where the acquisition occurs or where the parties are resident or established. This article sets out when certain share acquisitions and related instruments are subject to the tax, and when specific transactions are excluded. This article exempts listed share acquisitions from the tax and requires disclosure and recordkeeping when a taxpayer applies the exemption through a third party. The tax accrues when the securities are registered in the buyer’s favor in a securities account or register.
