Stamp Duty Valuation
Stamp Duty Valuation | Independent Property Valuation for Transfer & Revenue Purposes
A Stamp Duty Valuation (also referred to as a stamp duty valuation of property) is an independent assessment of a property’s market value for the purpose of calculating transfer duty, also known as stamp duty.
Where property is transferred between related parties, family members, associated entities, or through non-market transactions, state revenue offices often require a formal stamp duty valuation to determine the correct duty payable.
Propti provides certified stamp duty valuations across NSW, QLD, VIC and Australia-wide for individuals, accountants, solicitors and property owners.
What Is a Stamp Duty Valuation?
A stamp duty valuation of property determines the fair market value of a property at the date of transfer, rather than relying on the transfer price.
Revenue authorities require this when:
• The transfer price is below market value
• The transaction is between related parties
• Property is transferred within a family
• A trust or company restructuring occurs
• There is a deceased estate distribution
• There is a separation or settlement
A properly prepared stamp duty valuation ensures compliance with state revenue legislation and reduces the risk of reassessment or penalties.
When Is a Stamp Duty Valuation Required?
A stamp duty valuation is commonly required for:
• Related-party transfers
• Transfers between spouses
• Gifts of property
• Deceased estate distributions
• Company or trust restructures
• SMSF property transfers
• Nominal consideration transfers
Revenue authorities such as Revenue NSW, Queensland Revenue Office and State Revenue Victoria may require an independent valuation report.

How Is a Stamp Duty Valuation Determined?
A stamp duty valuation assesses:
• Comparable recent sales
• Market conditions at the transfer date
• Property condition and improvements
• Land characteristics and zoning
• Utility and market appeal
The outcome is a formal market value assessment as at the nominated date of transfer.

A transfer price does not automatically determine stamp duty liability.

• The contract price
• The market value (supported by valuation evidence)
Where the transaction is not arm’s length, a stamp duty valuation of property is typically required.
