Document background
A Share Transfer Form is a crucial document required whenever shares in an Irish company change ownership. This document is essential for maintaining proper corporate records and ensuring compliance with Irish company law. It must be completed when shares are sold, gifted, or otherwise transferred between parties, whether they are individuals or corporate entities. The form includes critical details such as the number and class of shares being transferred, the consideration paid, and the parties' information. The document must comply with the Companies Act 2014 and other relevant Irish legislation, including stamp duty requirements. Once completed and properly executed, the Share Transfer Form serves as evidence of the transfer and forms the basis for updating the company's register of members and issuing new share certificates.
