Corrs specialises in optimising stamp duty outcomes in all states and territories and can bring an intimate knowledge of different landholder and land rich duty laws and the nuances between them. We also specialise in large scale transactions involving multiple jurisdictions.
Income tax and GST issues bring added complexity and a need to stitch these together with stamp duty in a way that delivers technically and commercially. This process may involve stapled securities, development agreements, project delivery agreements or other solutions on a case by case basis. Corrs’ advice can help you be commercial while observing the limits.
