To avoid a tax default, penalty tax and interest, duty under the lease provisions must be paid within 30 days of a dutiable transaction.  

More about leases, grants and transfers

You can lodge a dutiable lease, transfer, assignment or surrender of lease by email or post. Do not lodge lease matters via Duties Online as all lease matters are dealt with by our Landholder Acquisitions Branch.

Payments can be made by either EFT or cheque.

1. Gather your documents and information

   You need:

   • A copy of your lease, transfer of lease, assignment of lease or surrender of lease, including any supporting documents and copies of contracts. Please do not send the original documents.
   • A cheque for the duty amount if you are not paying by EFT. If paying by EFT, please quote code 'LAB' and the payer's name as the relevant payment reference number

2. Lodge your documents

   You can lodge your documents by email or post. In your covering email or letter, please include the amount and date of any payments of duty made to us for your matter.
