Special disability trust duty exemption

The Special disability trust duty exemption provides an exemption from conveyance duty where a special disability trust is established solely for the future care and accommodation needs of someone with a severe disability.

From 1 July 2010, cases in which a special disability trust’s beneficiary lives in a property as his or her principal place of residence, the trust is exempt from paying duty. You can find out your eligibility and the documents you need to keep by completing the online questionnaire below.

All concessions and exemption applications at the ACT Revenue Office are self-assessed. You are obligated to ensure that all the eligibility criteria have been met (or will be met) before applying for any concession or exemption code in the Buyer Verification Declaration.

You should undertake your own inquiries into the eligibility requirements. This may include obtaining information from this website, legislation, or independent professional advice.
