Transfer Fee
What is a Transfer Fee?
In some states and territories there is a Transfer Fee payable when a property transfer document is lodged for registration with the relevant authority. The Transfer Fee is generally payable by the Purchaser and is in addition to Stamp Duty (which is sometimes known as Transfer Duty).
