UPDATE

Our flowchart Timing is everything to avoid double duty was updated on 19 March 2025 to take account of the updated State Revenue Office Revenue Ruling DA-064v2 Land transfer duty - meaning of land development.

Practitioner flowchart

Advising the purchaser at the beginning of the retainer about the duty implications associated with the timing of land development and nominations, and then again before the nomination occurred, can avoid double duty claims.

Use this flowchart as a guide for when to provide advice and when there is no double duty risk.

LPLC also strongly recommends conveyancing practitioners review their letters of advice to ensure they contain warnings about this issue.

We are united in our shock and sorrow following the horrific attacks that took place at Bondi Beach yesterday evening.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and all those who have been tragically affected by this abhorrent violence. This has particularly impacted the Jewish community of Sydney and across Australia, a community that is an integral and cherished part of our multicultural society.

We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and all who have been affected by this senseless violence. Everyone has the right to safety, security and freedom from fear.

We condemn these acts of antisemitism, extremism and violence in the strongest possible terms. We reaffirm our commitment to the rule of law, which underpins the safety and security of all in Australia.

We are united in our resolve that such acts of violence and hate will not undermine the values of inclusion and fundamental freedoms, including of religion and other rights, which define our community.
