Guidance

This guidance note covers the liability of shares, other securities and related services.

For an overview of liability more broadly, see the Liability ― overview guidance note.

For in-depth commentary on the legislation and case law on the liability of shares, other securities and related services see also De Voil Indirect Tax Service V4.136A.
