State Taxes and Stamp Duty
At Nuwaru, we have the best and most experienced state tax experts in Australia, with expertise in stamp duties, land tax, and payroll tax across all Australian jurisdictions.
Stamp duty is often that forgotten tax that comes in late and kills a deal. We think about stamp duty at the beginning of a transaction we are involved in, not the end, meaning we structure transactions to optimise the outcome, not let it impede a transaction at the 11th hour.
Mergers, acquisitions and restructures
Stamp duty can arise on the acquisition of businesses (equity), asset sales, mergers, de-mergers, takeovers, group reorganisations and restructures. We can assist with reviewing legal documents, identifying potential liabilities, calculation of applicable stamp duty and applications and/or registrations with the OSR.
