Assumption of debt via capital reduction is not subject to ITP/AJD if there is no release of debtors

A company has requested a ruling on whether a capital reduction involving the assumption of a mortgage debt owed by shareholders is subject to ITP and AJD. The DGT has determined that while the capital reduction itself is a taxable event, the assumption of debt alone is not, provided there is no transfer of assets or release of the shareholders from their obligations.
