(d) The application of stamp duty to an affordable housing scheme depends on the contract and settlement arrangements. Therefore, it is possible that some affordable housing schemes will attract duty on the house and land. However, under the ‘declared affordable house and land packages’ and ‘OwnPlace’ affordable housing schemes, duty was specifically only imposed on the land component of the purchase. Notwithstanding whether duty is applicable to the land only or the house and land, the Home Buyer Concession Scheme could provide a significant duty concession for eligible applicants.
(e) The ACT Supreme Court’s recent ruling is in relation to particular contracts in Crace, where duty was applied to the combined land and building value due to the interdependency of the contracts. Duty is applied to affordable housing schemes in accordance with the Duties Act and with regard to eligibility for home buyer assistance schemes, such as the Home Buyer Concession.
