QLD stamp duty concessions for SMSFs

Regarding your closing comments in your column in The Australian Tuesday 13th August regarding QLD stamp duty concessions for SMSFs. I have searched the QLD OSR website and found this link posted Oct 2012 dealing with merges and splits:

https://www.osr.qld.gov.au/duties/transfer-duty/exemptions-and-concessions/superannuation-concessions.shtml

Is this what you are referring to or have there been some recent amendments not yet posted on the ORS website?

I would like to move real business property into my superfund upon retirement but the stamp duty makes the benefits of this transaction marginal.

Any advice on concessions in this area would be greatly appreciated.

A: The change was made on 12 June 2013 so the change may not have made the QLD OSR website.


It’s new Section 130B.


I strongly suggest you get advice – stamp duty is often a difficult beast to work with especially when it’s combined with the Commonwealth’s super and tax laws.
