NSW Small Business Stamp Duty Exemption

The government has abolished stamp duty on a number of polices taken out by a small business. In order to gain the exemption, the business must be a small business in accordance with the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (s152.10),Capital Gains Tax meaning, for the income year in which the insurance is effected or renewed. A small business for Capital Gains Tax purpose is, “an individual, partnership, company or trust that is carrying on a business, and has an aggregated turnover of less than $2 million.” Aggregated Turnover, is the insureds annual turnover plus the annual turnovers of any business entities that are affiliates or are connected with the insured.
