Online Duties and Duties Lodgments User Guide

Use Online Duties to lodge, self assess and pay duty. Use Duties Lodgments to lodge dutiable transactions that are not approved for self-assessment.

Use Online Duties to self-assess approved transactions and pay duty in a monthly return if you are a licensed WA settlement agent or lawyer. You must be registered before you can use Online Duties.

Use Duties Lodgments to lodge transactions for assessment if they are not eligible for self-assessment.

  • You must be registered for Online Duties.
  • Only licensed WA settlement agents and lawyers are eligible to register.
  • If you're not a registered settlement agent or lawyer, use the Duties Online Services Portal.

Notifications (Duties Lodgments)

Your Current Notifications are displayed on your Client Profile page. It is important to manage these via the Notifications menu option so that only notifications for current transactions are displayed on your Client Profile page. This makes it easier to see when a request for further information has been received, an assessment notice has been issued or when a transaction has been endorsed and the certificates can be printed.

To manage the notifications that display on your Client Profile page, click Notifications in the left menu.

You can mark notifications as read or unread.

You can also archive older notifications.

  • When you archive completed transactions, only notifications for current transactions are displayed on your Client Profile screen.
  • To archive notifications, tick the boxes against the relevant notifications, then click Mark as and select Archive.
  • Access archived notices by changing the Status to either Archived or All.

Type data in the field above the column or choose from the selection in the dropdown list to search notifications by: 

  • status
  • read
  • unread
  • date
  • assessing officer
  • bundle ID
  • client reference
  • dutiable transaction
  • interested parties
  • the notification type
  • notification text.

You can also sort the notification columns similar to an Excel spread sheet.

Click Close to return to your Client Profile page.

You can download or print assessment notices, general correspondence and requisition notices from the Client Profile and the Notifications page by clicking the link in the download column.

Account enquiry

From the Client Profile page, the Account Enquiry function will display a Financial Transaction List of all assessed bundles.  

You can also pay assessment notices from this screen if you have a CIPA linked.

To view a transaction, select the transaction from the list and click View or double-click on the transaction.
