Transfer duty (stamp duty) is a government-imposed tax applied to certain property transactions, including purchases, transfers, and gifts of real estate. In New South Wales (NSW), the amount payable depends on the property’s value, and rates are set by Revenue NSW. Calculating stamp duty correctly is essential to avoid overpayment or legal complications.
The NSW government requires buyers and transferees to pay transfer duty based on the market value or purchase price of the property, whichever is higher. This ensures fair taxation and prevents underreported transactions. Understanding your stamp duty obligations is crucial for financial planning when acquiring property in Sydney.
