    (b) on an instrument certified by the Secretary of State to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue as made for the purposes of such a scheme, or as made for purposes connected with such a scheme.
     (2) But where, by virtue of sub-paragraph (1), stamp duty is not chargeable on a scheme or instrument, the scheme or instrument is to be treated as duly stamped only if-
 
 
    (a) in accordance with section 12 of the Stamp Act 1891 (c. 39) it has been stamped with a stamp denoting either that it is not chargeable to duty or that it has been duly stamped; or
 
    (b) it is stamped with the duty to which it would be chargeable apart from sub-paragraph (1).
     (3) In this paragraph, "instrument" has the same meaning as in the Stamp Act 1891.

30    (1) No transfer in accordance with a scheme made under section 1(2) is to give rise to any liability to stamp duty land tax.
