REPORT
I have set out below, with advice from officers at the Judicial Greffe and Treasury, what the effects of my amendments would have been had they been in place in 2005 and 2006.
I have done this as an indication; however, the amount raised through stamp duty in any year would be dependent upon the value and number of applications for probate or letters of administration.
My amendment introduces a minimum charge of £100 to cover basic administration for the first time which I do not believe will cause any hardship.
Manpower
There are no extra manpower requirements to administer these amendments. Financial
The estimate is that the taxation revenues of the States could receive an extra £3 million based on estimates projected from earlier years.
What the effects of my amendments would have been had they been in place in 2005 and 2006
