Query re. FTSE vs ISEQ

F

flybynight

Guest
I recently requested Sharewatch to purchase shares for me on the ISEQ, but having received confirmation from them, I notice that the shares were purchased on the FTSE.

Is there anything different I need to be aware of re. UK stocks? Taxes etc??

Many thanks......
 
what shares did you buy? most irish shares are also quoted/listed in London. It is often easier t odeal in London.

taxes are the same, 1% stamp duty on purchase price and you declare dividends in your tax returns.

Is is not .5% for UK stamp duty?
 
If company is registered in Ireland, then its 1% hether you buy in Irl or UK. .5% is for UK registered shares.
 
ravima is correct..the deals are executed on the london stock exchange.

it should be of no relevance to you really.

liquidity is probably better there on average so the bid/offer spread should be lower etc compared to dublin.
