An elderly family member wants to transfer shares as a gift to parents of a new baby in the family - total value likely to be less than €500.

I've downloaded the appropriate form for them, but I gather stamp duty of 1% is to be paid first; so say €5.

According to revenue.ie; this is only done via online services.

Elderly relative is strictly analog, does not use online banking, own a computer or smart phone, is not registered with revenue's online services.

Revenue aren't taking phone calls; so I can't talk to anyone.

Somewhere is there a simple way they can pay this €5 stamp duty and get the required cert?

Update: may be of interest to others - sharp eyes of a younger person spotted that under €1000 there's no stamp duty!
