The NSW Treasurer’s recent announcement regarding stamp duty has created confusion for buyers. According to the Real Estate Institute of NSW, they received further clarity around the Stamp Duty plans from the minister’s office on May 7. The message from the minister’s office reads as follows:
“At this time, it is a proposal only and will need to be subject to extensive public and industry consultation before it would be progressed to a point of announcing a firm proposal or start date.
