The commencement of the Duties Act 2001 and the Taxation Administration Act 2001 has changed the way OSR interacts with you. OSR understands the importance of providing you with quality information, but it is not appropriate for OSR to provide you with advice.
OSR does not provide advice, but we can provide to you the information you need to make a decision and assist you to find forms.
| Advice often requested |
Information we can provide
|
| Will an exemption apply to this transaction? |
The transaction will be exempt if it meets the criteria set out in The Acts. We are unable to make a determination in advance of an assessment. However, we can refer you to the relevant section/s in The Acts and/or guide you through the website to the revenue ruling for further information |
| How do I word a document to minimise duty? |
As a revenue office, we cannot advise clients on how to prepare a document or structure a transaction. Those are commercial matters for the parties themselves |
