Extra Stamp Duty on transfer of land after 01/03/2020
From 01 March 2020 , in NSW (other States to follow) Up to 8% extra stamp
duty will be payable on purchase of land by a discretionary trust having a foreign
beneficiary because it becomes a foreign trust as per Revenue office as every
beneficiary in the discretionary trust may be entitled to the full capital of
the trust.
Applying the provisions to trusts, where a “foreign
purchaser” had a beneficial interest in more than 50% of the capital of the
estate of the trust, the trust would have been considered to be a foreign trust
for the purposes of the additional duty.
