Stamp Duty

Stamp Duty is a charge on certain documents and transactions. Stamp duty is charged at either a flat rate or an ad valorem rate (based on the value of the transaction) depending on the particular document or transaction.

Calculators are available to assist you in estimating the amount of stamp duty payable. There is also a Stamp Duty Glossary of Terms which may help you to understand some of the terms used.

Counter

Where a lodger is an "infrequent" user, RevenueSA will continue to provide an on the spot (depending on length of queue) counter assessment service for non RevNet users. For your reference, "infrequent" is in the order of 10 documents per year. Click here for a list of documents that can be processed on the spot via the RevenueSA Counter. These documents are to be presented to the counter with a completed Lodgement Form and supporting documentation.

Please Note: Whilst caveats can and should be self-determined using RevNet given their special significance counter assessments will also be provided for any request to stamp a Caveat.
