Ruling
Where a transaction involves the creation or surrender of a life estate or a remainder estate, the value of the interest passing will be determined with reference to tables produced by the Australian Government Actuary.
The life tenant factors have been calculated by the Australian Government Actuary, on behalf of RevenueSA, based on the Australian Life Tables 2005-07 at 5% per annum.
The table on the following page indicates the life tenant factors to be used in situations where a life estate or a remainder estate is to be determined for stamp duty purposes.
The Australian Life Tables are expected to be updated in mid 2014. Once the new tables are released, a new Revenue Ruling will be issued with updated life tenant factors.
