Stamp Duty
What exactly is a stamp duty valuation report?
Stamp duty is the name of the tax payable upon transfer of ownership of an asset between two or more parties. A stamp duty valuation is required when transferring ownership between related parties or where property is being transferred into a superannuation fund or various other trusts and legal entities. The stamp duty tax is then payable based on the valuation report provided by a registered valuer. Often a property is sold between related parties and is significantly below market value in which case you will need to have a stamp duty valuation to determine market value. Stamp duty valuation reports contain information on the physical attributes of the property, current market sales evidence and professional interpretation and valuation rationale.
Why do I need a Stamp Duty Valuation and is it compulsory?
When there is a transfer of ownership in a property the office of state revenue requires a stamp valuation report, which must be conducted by a registered property valuer. The amount of stamp duty tax you pay depends on which state the property is located in and the valuation amount reported by the valuer.
