Stamp Duty Valuers
When a property is transferred in Tasmania you need to pay stamp duty, which is also known as property transfer duty to the state government. Stamp duty must be paid to the State Revenue Office within three months of the property purchase and is calculated based on the total value of the property.
Stamp duty is payable whenever a property is transferred to another party, including a superannuation fund, a trust or another legal body. The amount of stamp duty you need to pay is based on the value in the property valuation report. It is therefore crucial to get a property valuation report by a registered property valuer. This is especially important when a property is sold between related parties at an amount significantly below the genuine market value.
What’s included in a stamp duty valuation report?
A stamp duty valuation report is a detailed report that includes the following information: The physical characteristics of the property; Current market sales data; Photographs of the property; Interpretation and analysis.
