Correction of errors: duty requirements

What you need to provide if you need to correct a clerical error.

If you lodge a transaction to correct a clerical error in a previous transaction relating to the same property, provide:

  1. the transaction records to correct the error (such as the transfer or agreement to transfer)
  2. a copy of the duty endorsed transaction record(s) for the original transaction(s)
  3. a completed Foreign Transfer Duty Declaration Form for each transaction
  4. details of the full facts and circumstances leading to the clerical error or omission that requires correction
  5. statements from independent third parties, such as a real estate agent, concerning the clerical error
  6. documents relating to the clerical error, such as strata plans
  7. any other relevant information that may assist in the assessment of duty.

Note: A ‘clerical error’ does not include rectifying an error to achieve a particular intended legal result.

If you don't provide all required documents, your assessment may be delayed.
