I have a query re ATM stamp duty which seems to fall into this thread.
I have an EBS savings account and had an ATM card on the account up to October 2007.
At that time, I returned the card to the EBS and asked them to replace the ATM card with an account book. I signed forms in the building society at the time to confirm the card cancellation.
On 31/12, I was charged the ATM stamp duty. When I queried it today, the teller said I should be charged it because I had the card for most of 2007. But he wasn't certain about it and is to come back to me with further information. I thought I should be exempt because I did not have a card on 31/12 as the revenue information suggests.
The revenue links only cover the scenario of closing the account prior to 31/12, not of cancelling the card but leaving the account open.
Anyone know where I stand on this? If I have to pay, I have to pay, but if it's my €5, I want it back!
