Stamp duty property valuation questions, answered.

What does a stamp duty valuation establish?+

It establishes the property's market value for a transfer where the revenue authority needs evidence of dutiable value. The report supports the assessment process but does not calculate every concession, exemption or amount of duty payable.

When is a stamp duty valuation commonly required?+

Common situations include gifts, family or related-party transfers, trust or company transfers, non-cash consideration, fractional interests and transactions where the stated price may not reflect market value. Requirements differ by state and transaction.

Is duty based on the transfer price or market value?+

Revenue authorities commonly assess duty using the higher of the consideration and the property's unencumbered market value, subject to local legislation and any exemption or concession. Your solicitor or conveyancer should confirm the rule for the transaction.

Which date should the property be valued at?+

The required date may be the contract, transfer, option exercise or another transaction date under the relevant state's rules. Ask the lodging professional or revenue authority to confirm the date before ordering.

Do family transfers and gifts still need market value evidence?+

Often, yes. A nominal price, no payment or a family relationship may mean the authority cannot rely on the stated consideration. A valuation provides independent evidence, while any concession or exemption must be assessed separately.

Can the report value only a share or fractional interest?+

Yes, if the instruction clearly identifies the legal interest being transferred. The valuer needs the ownership proportions, title details and transaction documents because the scope may differ from valuing the whole property.

Does the revenue authority require a physical inspection?+

Requirements vary by jurisdiction and transaction. Some authorities or evidence categories require an inspected valuation, while others may accept a desktop report. Confirm the evidence rules with your solicitor or conveyancer and select the inspected service when required.

Who prepares and signs the report?+

The report is prepared and signed by a suitably qualified property valuer. If the relevant authority specifies a qualification, registration, panel or report format, provide those instructions before the valuation begins.

Will the report tell me exactly how much duty I owe?+

No. It provides the market value input for the assessment. Duty rates, surcharges, concessions and exemptions depend on the jurisdiction, parties and transaction, so the final calculation should come from the revenue authority or your adviser.

What documents should I provide for the valuation?+

Provide the contract or transfer details, required date, title and ownership information, the interest being transferred and any plans, leases or improvement details. Include written instructions from the lodging professional where available.

Settlement won’t wait. Neither do we.

Ask your conveyancer which signed report and valuation date the recipient requires.
