The Administrative Court ruled that stamp duty was due upon the transfer of a leasehold right because the unfinished building constituted the primary subject of the transaction. The parties argued over whether the 50% completion status or the land acquisition price determined the tax liability, with the County Board initially assessing a specific amount. The court decided that since the purchase price was predominantly allocated to the unfinished structure, it qualified as a taxable building under the Stamp Duty Act.
