📜 Duties Amendment Bill 2011
Assented toLABill 22022 June 2011
The Duties Amendment Bill 2011 amends the Duties Act 2008 to clarify the definition of 'land' for stamp duty purposes, particularly concerning mining tenements and fixtures attached to them, addressing concerns raised by a High Court decision. It applies retrospectively from 24 December 2010.
Impact
Mining companies and those dealing with mining tenements will be affected, as the bill clarifies what constitutes a fixture on mining land for duty purposes. This ensures the state's revenue base is maintained by addressing a High Court decision that narrowed the definition of land.
Key Changes
["Clarifies that mining tenements are considered 'land' for duty purposes.", "Specifies what constitutes a 'fixture' on mining tenements and petroleum licenses.", "Applies the amendments retrospectively from 24 December 2010."]
