Duties & Levies
If you buy or sell any investments worth over £10,000, you pay a levy of £1.00 to the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (PTM).
When you buy investments, you also have to pay a form of tax called Stamp Duty or Stamp Duty Reserve Tax. This is 0.5% of the value of the investments you buy (1% on Irish stocks and 0% on Exchange Traded Funds).
Foreign Exchange Information
Foreign currency conversions are required to facilitate the settlement of international transactions and include a spread, which can vary from time-to-time, applied to the Available Exchange Rate*. The current spread is 0.4%. Indicative exchange rates are provided prior to trading, and the rate applicable to the individual trade is confirmed on the contract note once the deal has been completed.
* The available 'Available Exchange Rate' is based on the exchange rate provided within the Global Treasury Information Services foreign exchange feed supplied by Interactive Data Corporation.
Please remember the value of your investments and the income from them can go down as well as up. You may not get back the full amount you have invested. If you're in any doubt about the suitability of any of our products, or whether to buy or sell shares, you should consult an appropriate Financial Adviser.
