Request an urgent assessment by writing to the Principal Revenue Officer, Duties, and submit it online.
Your request must include:
- detailed reason(s) for urgency
- for new or previously incomplete lodgments – all information required under the relevant duty requirement and/or specified in the relevant application form, acquisition statement or transfer duty statement
- the date when the assessment or decision is required
- if applicable, an undertaking that the duty will be paid immediately on the issue of an assessment notice.
If the request relates to a non-routine transaction, for example a pre-transaction decision request or an application for exemption under Chapter 6 of the Duties Act 2008, the request must include documents and other supporting evidence to prove the adverse commercial, financial or other detrimental consequences that will follow if the matter is not treated with priority.
When an urgent request is accepted, the matter will be given priority according to its grounds of urgency. Requesting an urgent assessment does not guarantee we will issue a notice or decision in the requested timeframe.
Note: routine agreements to transfer dutiable property that are not approved for self-assessment are assessed as soon as possible after lodgment and don't require a request for urgent assessment.
