Stamp duty question
Page 1 of 1
We are currently doing the final tender so the building contract should be near.
Should we pay stamp duty then claim it back? (that's if we can)
Just wanted to know what's the best way to approach this.
Thanks
We have been told by our lawyer that our land has been registered and since we have not sign our building contract yet, we'll have to pay stamp duty then claim it back afterward.

Hi Jordann
Do you mean Stamp Duty on the land or house?
Land - SD is due when you settle on the land. It has nothing to do with the house.
House - There is no SD on building a house.
Registration fee's are different. When you register a mortage you have to pay a reg fee but it's only like $500.00ish or something.
This is the case in Vic should be the same in NSW.
Anyone know?
Are you a first home buyer? If so, you may be exempt from paying stamp duty at all.
Not sure what you mean by "claiming it back". The stamp duty concession (FHP) is completely separate from FHOG.
I know that stamp duty is for land only, just that my lawyer is telling me I have to pay stamp duty first when we do settlement as we have not sign our building contract, then claim stamp duty back.
That is what confusing me as I thought I was exempt as well.
Not sure if he is lost or I am
Btw I am in the same boat, got the land, paid the stamp duty now waiting for building contract to claim back my stamp duty.

How do you actually claim it back?
Is there a website of form I could get more information from?
When we purchased our land, we didn't provide OSR with anything other than a copy of the land contract and transfer, and we were immediately stamped as exempt prior to settlement.
Jordann, check out:

This all makes more sense now.
