Answers to commonly asked questions about SMSF's

Changes to the Land Rich Landholder legislation

A landholder is considered to be land rich if it has land holdings in NSW to the value of $2 million or more and its landholdings in all places whether within or outside Australia comprise 60% or more of the unencumbered value of all its property.

An amendment to section 163G of the Duties Act means that a change in the beneficial ownership of land rich landholders will attract ad valorum duty.

Previously only changes in the legal ownership was caught by the legislation.

For example:

A Pty Limited is a land rich landholder.

B and C are shareholders of A Pty Limited, each owing 1 share each.

B declares a trust in relation to the share B holds in A Pty Limited in favour of D.

The result: The declaration of trust is liable to ad valorum duty on 50% of the unencumbered value of all landholdings of A Pty Limited in NSW.

Please note the above example assumes that D has not made any other acquisitions during the last preceding 3 years.

Upon making the relevant acquisition D must complete an Acquisition Statement and submit it to the Chief Commissioner for assessment of duty.
