As part of its Mini Budget Announcement on 11 November 2008 the NSW Government announced that the abolition of marketable securities duty on non-quoted shares or units is 1 July 2012.

A transfer of dutiable property is normally liable to full duty based on the dutiable value of the property.

However, where property is transferred from a deceased estate to the person or persons beneficially entitled, concessional duty may apply under Section 63 of the Duties Act 1997.

Note:Where title to the property is passing from the name of the deceased person to their executor or administrator, a Transmission Application rather than a Transfer is generally used to effect the change.

For more information, see the related topic on Transmission Application.
