Do I need to pay stamp duty if I am transferring our marital home to my ex-partner?
 

Transfer Duty is dealt with on a state by state basis however, there is an exemption from paying duty where the transfer is between those who were a party to a marriage or de facto relationship.
 

You must have your agreement recorded in court orders or a Binding Financial Agreement. There are various forms that will then need to be completed and sent to State Revenue, where your application for the exemption will be assessed. Our Family Lawyers at Salerno Law can assist you with obtaining these orders and completing and filing these documents so that you can avoid the unnecessary expense of paying stamp duty.
