Stamp duty for businesses

What is it?

Stamp duty is a type of tax that state/territory governments levied upon certain purchases and documents. For example…

• insurance policies
• leases and mortgages
• transfers of property

The amount of stamp duty depends on the type of transaction made, as well as its value.

 

Concessions and exemptions

In certain situations, there may be opportunities for you to obtain a concession or exemption from paying stamp duty. The specific rules governing these exemptions can vary, so make sure you’re looking into the right state or territory.
