Dear Friends,
I am allotting partly paid shares for a company, my question here is " do I need to pay stamp duty on the entire consideration amount that the shareholder is supposed to be paid amount or just on the amount actually paid right now?"
The shares are allotted as part of the shareholder agreement between the company and the shareholders, the agreement contains certain milestones to be achieved by the company, that is the reason why shares are partly paid, as the company completes the milestones the shareholder shall pay remaining amount, in case the company fails to achieve those milestones the shareholder shall not pay the remaining amount.
Please let me know if stamp duty is paid on entire consideration amount now or on the actual amount paid.
Thanks and Regards,
Anushaka
