Tasmanian Mortgage Duty Abolition
As part of the Revenue initiatives contained in the 2005-06 Tasmanian State Budget, the Government enacted the Revenue Measures Act 2005 that included the abolition of mortgage duty in respect of mortgage instruments executed on or after 1 July 2007. This means any new Tasmanian mortgage instrument executed, or further advance made on an existing mortgage, on or after 1 July 2007 no longer requires stamping under the Duties Act 2001.
Instruments executed prior to 1 July 2007 will continue to be subject to duty and will require stamping in accordance with Chapter 6 of the Act.
