✅ A Utility Bill for the current address on your DL.

Note: If for any reason you don't have the above identity paperwork, before you decide your preferred alternative for conducting the VOI, you will first need to spend the time to review and gather originals or certified copies of the complete list of alternative identity paperwork noting the associated points until you reach the minimum required level of 100 points.

This thought-provoking article underscores the often overlooked yet profoundly important aspect of estate planning – the ethical will or legacy letter – adding depth and significance to the process of passing down not just assets, but personal values and wisdom.

General FAQ

Do I need to pay NSW Purchaser Surcharge Duty +/or Land Tax?

Is the NSW Property Buyer a foreign person?

A buyer of NSW property will generally be considered a foreign person and liable to pay NSW purchaser surcharge duty [8% of the purchase price] unless:

✅ The buyer is an Australian citizen; or

✅ Has lived in Australia for more than 200 days in the 12 months before the purchase date, [+] is either:

⚖️ A New Zealand citizen, who holds a subclass 444 visa; or

⚖️ A permanent resident of Australia.

As well as paying Surcharge Purchaser Duty, foreign persons who own residential land must also pay Surcharge Land Tax.

If the situation is complex, we recommend the purchaser obtain specialist tax advice.
