WHAT IS STAMP OR TRANSFER DUTY?

By Emily Upton

In the case of real estate, the purchaser is the one who pays the tax. It is a legal requirement for stamp duty to be paid within 30 days of  the settlement date. All transfers of land, or sales of property, including gifts of property attract a duty, but there are a few exceptions to this, including:

  • Pensioners
  • Deceased estates
  • First home buyers
