Stamp Duty on Purchase Deed

Hi,
We bought our house as FTBs for €335k and the stamp was €10,050.The solicitor sent us a bill which had an additonal cost relating to a "stamp duty on purchase deed" as part of their outlay fees. This amounts to an extra €1050.
Has anyone else paid this and can someone explain what it is for & how it is calculated. Ive googled it and can't find anything on it....

Thanks in advance

A mortgage over €225K attracts an additional SD charge of 0.1% subject to a ceiling of €630. See page 7 of the [broken link removed]. Then the Land Registry transfer fee (which may technically be SD - I'm not sure) on this sale would have been €500. Perhaps the two added together come to €1,050? But your really should be asking your solicitor for the answers.
 
Perhaps it is a typo?

The stamp duty is E10050.00. What they have asked you for is E1050.00 i.e. E9000.00 short. Have they asked for E10050 PLUS E1050?

Ask them.

According to the original post the SD was €10,050 and there was an additional charge of €1,050. Presumably the house was second hand so the FTB SD was 3% (i.e. €10,050). My guess is that the additional €1,050 was SD on the mortgage deed plus the Land Registry fee of €500. Mind you a mortgage stamp deed of €550 would imply a mortgage of €550K. Hmmm....
