State Taxes
Duty
Duty (previously known as “stamp duty”) is a form of taxation charged by the State Government, under the Duties Act 2001, when someone acquires an interest in property, usually by buying a property. Normally, duty must be paid by the purchaser/transferee within three months of the dutiable transaction.
From 1 July 2009, agreements for sale are no longer dutiable following amendments to the Duties Act 2001
