Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
4 of the 10 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 6 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 12 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per jurisdiction per instrument: the rate, the threshold, the filing deadline and whether the duty exists at all.
The derivation is the finding, and it is the opposite of what the keyword expects: Britain still charges on both paper and paperless transfers, while every Australian state abolished duty on marketable securities and replaced it with landholder duty, which bites only when the company's assets are land above a threshold.
So the honest answer to 'stamp duty on shares' depends entirely on where the register is, and the page that says so is the one nobody has written.
12 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
