Transfer Duty and Capital Gains Taxation

Transfer Duty Valuations

‘Transfer Duty (formerly known as Stamp Duty) is a State Government Tax payable to the State Revenue Office (SRO), aka Revenue NSW, when property ownership is transferred from one party to another. A transfer duty valuation is compulsory when transferring proprietorship amongst related parties or where the property is being transferred into a superannuation fund or other trusts and lawful entities.

Transfer duty is calculated as a percentage of the purchase price or the property’s market value, whichever is greater. If you want valuation services for capital gains tax purposes, contact Landlink Valuations today.
