Request no double duty endorsement

If a transaction for property constitutes more than one dutiable transaction, duty will only be imposed once if certain criteria are met.

In the case of the sale of a home, duty would only be payable on the Offer and Acceptance (O&A). The Transfer of Land will be endorsed for nil duty on condition the O&A and Transfer of Land are in conformity. This includes the party names and the shares allocated to the parties.

Duty will not be applied on a subsequent transfer in certain circumstances, including certain transfers to a person related to the purchaser and transfers under an agency relationship. The substituted transferee provisions in the Duties Act allow for the purchaser to substitute their share in the contract of sale to a person who is related to them without further duty being applied. This must occur prior to settlement. Form FDA14 ‘Substituted Transferees’ must be completed and submitted to us with the O&A and Transfer of Land.

Step 1: No double duty transaction details
  • Enter the Bundle ID of the transaction to which the no double duty request relates along with any additional relevant information.
Step 2: Upload supporting documents
  • Upload any supporting documentation relevant to your request. You can also access the Duties Information Requirements publication which provides additional information about required supporting documentation.
  • Click on a listed document name to open the relevant form which you can complete, save to your computer the upload to the portal.
Step 3: Lodge the request
  • At any time before lodging a request, you can click Save for later to save your progress.
  • After clicking Lodge, you will receive an electronic declaration which you must accept for the lodgment to be successful. You will then receive a Request is successful notification.

If a transfer of land is eligible for no double duty and you intend to settle using electronic conveyancing, you don't need to provide a transfer of land document or request an NDD.  See which transactions lodged for assessment with the Commissioner are eligible for electronic conveyancing.
