The transfers and agreements exempted are those involving European Multilateral Clearing Facility N.V. (“EMCF”) and/or European Central Counterparty Limited (“EuroCCP”) and/or LCH.Clearnet Limited (“LCH.Clearnet”) and/or SIX X-CLEAR AG (“X-CLEAR”), and nominees of these clearing houses, (through whom transactions on the Turquoise MTF are cleared), or clearing participants in EMCF and/or EuroCCP and/or LCH.Clearnet and/or X-CLEAR and their nominees.
Regulation 1 provides for citation, commencement and effect, and regulation 2 contains definitions.
Regulation 3 prescribes the Turquoise MTF as a recognised investment exchange, and EMCF, EuroCCP, LCH.Clearnet and X-CLEAR as recognised clearing houses for the purpose of the exemption.
Regulation 4 prescribes the circumstances in which stamp duty and SDRT will not be charged.
Regulation 5 revokes the Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (Investment Exchanges and Clearing Houses) Regulations (No. 8) 2009 which are replaced by these Regulations.
