Right here is the story, Local GAA club built a club house 20 years ago, at the same time the Meath County Council transfered the deeds of the pitch and adjacent grounds (where clubhouse is) to the club. The documents were kept by a solicitor who has since died and documents are lost, no copy anywhere.... Currrently club is extending the clubhouse and needs to show national lottery that deeds in the clubs name. Now they have to transfer the deeds to their name again. Will they be liable for stamp duty?? Are the club exempt under any stamp duty law for being a GAA club??? There is no legal problem with the council who accept the grounds are not in their name. Any advice much appreciated.....
 
This sounds like something that you'll probably need to take professional advice on.
 
Yes, you will have to take advice. If the property was transferred over 20 years ago, searches could reveal the title. Not until searches have been completed can better advice be given.
 
Yeah I thought that might be the best thing to do. They may have to approach the revenue and speak directly to them (through a solicitor or tax advisor). Its very hard to find any information about stamp duty in general, except for houses. Anyway thanks for the advice.
