State Revenue Office Duties Online Form

Individuals or their representatives are required to use the digital duties form for all contracts or agreements for land transfer duty entered into on or after 1 July 2017.

Whilst often unpopular the form is aimed to reduce the amount of docuements required in a conveyancing transaction and to allow parties to sign electronically. 

How to complete forms electornically

An all-in-one digital duties form for property transfers in Victoria became mandatory from 1 July 2017. The digital duties form replaces paper-based land transfer duty forms, and enables electronic data pre-population into the Duties Online (DOL) system.

You will receive an email from the State Revenue Office inviting you to complete the form electronically once all parties have completed the relevant data. Once you accept you will be shown a completed form which you are required to check is true and correct to the best of you ability, and sign if all is in order. This sometimes can be very close to settlement due to the number of parties involved, or can be required to be resigned multiple times should any of the parties make alterations, no matter how minor.

We use information provided by you specific to the transaction, however for one reason or another this can be incorrect or out dated. Common examples are missing middle names or stamp duty concessions. Below are examples of details you should check when signing the form digitally.

Purchaser Forms (Transferee)

• full name
• date of birth
• address after settlement
• manner of holding (for example if you are holding the property on behalf of a trust or similar setup)
• concession eligibility
• country of tax residence
• visa details (if a foreign purchaser)

Seller Forms (Transferor)

• full name
• date of birth
• address after settlement
• manner of holding (for example if you are holding the property on behalf of a trust or similar setup)
• country of tax residence
• your ABN and GST details if you are making a taxable supply

These are only a few examples and you should always ensure your details are correct prior to signing, or contact our office should you have any issues.
