Overview

edit

Other than a modicum of clerical tidy-up, the 1992 ISDA version of Section 4(e) is exactly the same as Section 4(e) in the 2002 ISDA version.

Summary

edit

Basically, if there is any Stamp Tax imposed because of my existence or residence in a certain jurisdiction, whether imposed on me or you, I’ll pay it, unless it would have been imposed on you too. If we’re both in the same Stamp Tax Jurisdiction, the liability lies where it falls.
