Lodgment Guide

The information in this lodgment guide is for general guidance only. It should not be relied upon to address every aspect of Deferral of Duty and should not be lodged with your application.

When to lodge your application

An application must be lodged with the ACT Revenue Office by the date the duty must be paid.  Duty is payable within 90 days of the grant, transfer or agreement, whichever is earlier or, for an Off the Plan agreement within 14 days if one of the events happen under section 16A of the Duties Act 1999.   Late applications will only be considered if you can show it was unduly onerous to lodge on time (see Revenue Circular DAA012.1).

Eligibility criteria

•	If purchasing a new property: all applicants must be eligible for the Home Buyer Concession Scheme (HBC) or the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG).
•	If purchasing an established property: applicants would have been eligible for the FHOG under the First Home Owner Grant Act 2000 (the Act) except for the requirement under section 12B of the Act that the property be new or substantially renovated.
•	At least one applicant must occupy the home as their principal place of residence for a continuous period of 12 months starting within 1 year of completion of the eligible transaction or issue of the Certificate of Occupancy.
•	Application for deferral of duty will only be considered where the market value or purchase price (whichever is the greater) is equal to or below the relevant HBC upper threshold.  
•	The minimum amount of duty that can be deferred is $1,000.

Terms and Conditions of Deferral of Duty
•	The maximum term of the deferral of duty is for not more than five years after the day of the dutiable transaction taking place. The first payment (or instalment) must be made within the first five year period.  Payment of the unpaid duty and any interest accrued and accruing must be paid in full no later than ten years after the day of the dutiable transaction taking place.
•	Applicants agree that by making an application for deferral of duty, upon approval, they have entered into a time payment arrangement under section 52 of the Taxation Administration Act 1999 to pay the deferred duty and any accrued interest by way of instalments as determined by the Commissioner for ACT Revenue.
•	As a condition of the time payment arrangement, under section 52 (2) of the Taxation Administration Act applicants agree that the required payment method of any deferred duty and accrued interest instalments will be via direct debit and that a Direct Debit Authority is to be provided to the Commissioner for ACT Revenue within fourteen (14) days prior to the due date for the first instalment amount. 
•	Simple interest will accrue on the deferred duty arrangement from the date the duty is payable and will continue to accrue until the deferred duty is paid in full.  Interest is calculated daily at the market rate under section 26 (2) of the Taxation Administration Act 1999.
•	Applicants may make voluntary payments over and above the instalment amount at any time.   
•	Applicants must acknowledge that any outstanding amounts will be held as a charge against the subject property.
•	Where the applicants are approved for a deferral of duty, a time payment arrangement under section 52 of the Taxation Administration Act 1999 is deemed to have commenced. Under section 52 (4) of the Taxation Administration Act 1999, if the minimum instalment of duty is not paid on or before the day an instalment payment is due, this constitutes a tax default and will result in the full amount of duty deferred and any interest becoming immediately due and payable. The Commissioner for ACT Revenue may seek to recover any overdue amount.  
•	Where a tax default occurs, the premium rate of interest (8 per cent per annum) will also  apply to the outstanding deferred duty amount, in addition to the market rate of interest.  Penalty tax may also apply in certain circumstances (section 31 of the Taxation Administration Act 1999). The Commissioner for ACT Revenue may seek to recover these amounts. 
•	For the purposes of section 97 of the Taxation Administration Act 1999, applicants must consent to the display of any outstanding amount in connection with this agreement on any Certificate of Rates, Land Tax and Other Charges produced in relation to the subject property.
•	All outstanding deferred duty and interest must be paid in full prior to the subject property being sold or transferred to another party.    
•	Applicants must notify the ACT Revenue Office within 14 days of any change to their address or any other detail relevant to their application. 
•	Applicants will be notified in writing of the outcome of their application together with any conditions that will form part of the deferral of duty.  
•	If an applicant is approved for deferral of duty but is subsequently determined not to have met the eligibility criteria for the Home Buyer Concession Scheme and/or the First Home Owner Grant, the Commissioner for ACT Revenue may issue an amended duty assessment.  An amended assessment may result in interest and penalties being imposed together with the requirement for the applicant to immediately pay all outstanding amounts.  

Applicants must acknowledge that they have had the opportunity to obtain independent financial advice prior to signing their application for deferral of duty. 

Payment of Deferred Duty
•	If applicants are approved for the Deferral of Duty, they must enter into a time payment arrangement with the Commissioner. 
•	As a condition of this time payment arrangement, the Commissioner has determined (under section 52 (2) of the Taxation Administration Act 1999) that payment of deferred duty and any accrued interest must be made via direct debit. Applicants must provide the Commissioner with a completed Direct Debit Authority within fourteen (14) days prior to the due date for the first instalment amount. 
•	The Direct Debit Authority can be found on the ACT Revenue Office website at: http://www.revenue.act.gov.au/publications-and-legislation/forms 

When you must move in and for how long

•	At least one applicant must start occupying the home within 1 year after completion of the eligible transaction or issue of the Certificate of Occupancy.
•	At least one applicant must reside in the home as their principal place of residence for a continuous period of at least 12 months.  
•	Applicants must satisfy the Commissioner that they have met the residency requirements and may be required to prove residency by providing documentary evidence of their period of occupancy.  
•	Applicants who do not satisfy the residency requirements must notify the Commissioner in writing within 14 days of the notifiable event.

Further checks are made of domestic partner status and ACT Planning and Land Authority records.  A compliance check generally takes place after the Deferral of Duty has been granted and includes verification that the residency requirements have been met.
