PISCES stamp taxes exemption introduced

The Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System (Exemption from Stamp Duties) Regulations SI 2025/666 introduce an exemption from stamp duties on transfers of shares in connection with trading activity that takes place on a Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System (PISCES) under the PISCES sandbox arrangements (which are broadly described in reg 3 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System Sandbox) Regulations SI 2025/583). The regulations come into force on 3 July 2025. The PISCES sandbox allows the Treasury to check that regulation is ‘calibrated correctly’ before making the respective rules permanent.
