Stamp Duty
Stamp duty is a tax on executed documents relating to properties, interest in properties and shares or interest in shares. No stamp duty is payable if the agreement is verbal and no document is executed (signed) for that agreement.
On non-owner occupied residential properties and owner-occupied residential properties, multi-tier progressive tax rates will apply. The annual property tax is then calculated by multiplying the annual value of the property with the applicable Property Tax Rates. For non-owner occupied residential property, a specific exclusion list exists for properties holding planning approval for the specific use of the property. A flat 10% rate will also apply. The exclusion list includes hospitals, hotels, serviced apartments, etc.
