    0

    Joseph Onele and Emokiniovo Dafe-Akpedeye of Olaniwun Ajayi LP, in their article “N50 Stamp Duties: Unearthing the Incongruity in the CBN Circular” examine the propriety of the Central Bank of Nigeria 2016 Circular by which Banks and other financial institutions are to charge N50 per eligible transaction. They consider the provisions of the Stamp Duties Act, the Federal Government Financial Regulations 2009 and other extant regulations, and conclude that it was never within the contemplation of the law that electronic transfers would be liable to stamp duty given that, among others, it is impracticable to issue a “receipt duly stamped”.
