Hi Steve,
still new to this, and cannot add past comments, but further to your response re buy off the plan to avoid stamp duty.
Do you know if this applies in Qld? as i was told that if you buy an investment property in Qld, you have to pay extra stamp duty?

Thank you all for your help. you have been fantastic. i will look up the sites you suggeted.
on the face of it, it sounds like it’s going to be a bit tricky to work out, as i take it from Julia’s comment that A will have to do two part GST calculation. thanks again.
