Improvements to claiming digital duties forms
Published on 20 March 2018
We are improving the way digital duties forms are claimed in Duties Online (DOL). These improvements, which apply from 26 March 2018, include:
- A new settlement statement code – this code will now be generated on the Settlement Statement directly underneath the Duties Form ID. The addition of the Settlement Statement Code prevents a form being inadvertently claimed twice and enhances security. From 10 April 2018, you must enter both the Digital Form ID and the Settlement Statement Code when claiming a digital duties form.
- Label name change – in the concessions drop down list, the ‘first home owner concession’ label has been renamed the ‘first home owner with dependent children concession’. This clarifies the nature of the concession and reduces confusion.
- Pre-population of email addresses – when inviting a person to sign their digital form, email addresses entered in the transferor/transferee section can now be pre-populated. You can also select a previously entered or new email address.
- Foreign companies incorporated in Australia - you only need to enter the ABN/ARBN/ACN under the transferor/transferee details as you will not have an overseas entity registration number.
- Email subject line - the property address related to the digital form will automatically appear in the email’s subject line.
- No contract of sale - the nomination question,‘Is the transferee(s) the same person named as the purchaser(s) named in the Contract?’, has been amended to include ‘or agreement’.
