Information to be lodged when stamping share transfers

The Office of State Revenue has recently informed us that when lodging a transfer of shares or units for stamping the following information is required.

• A cheque for the duty payable; and
• Audited (if applicable) financial statements for the company or unit trust, including a certified copy of the latest balance sheet (including notes) and profit and loss statements for the last five (5) financial years.

Naturally, if the company has traded for less than 5 years, the requirement would be reduced to the number of trading years.

A valuation of the relevant shares or units, or a statement by one of the parties as to how the consideration was determined by the parties may also be lodged, however, a certified copy of the latest balance sheet and supporting notes would still be required.
