    As far as I’m aware JohannP, there isn’t away to exscape transfer cost however best Idea would be to contact a local conveyancer or property solicitor and they will give you the advice you’ll need to make a descision.

    I don’t think you can either, unless the transfer was done in error originally. Just ring the OSR and sus them out over the phone, you never know.

    Look at this recent QLD case:
    Pryke & Ors v. Commissioner of State Revenue [2006] QSC 226 (23 August 2006)
    http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/qld/QSC/2006/226.html

    The Act states:
    DUTIES ACT 2001 – SECT 152
    152 Exemption–to correct error in previous dutiable transaction

    Transfer duty is not imposed on a dutiable transaction to correct an error in a previous dutiable transaction about the same property if–

    (a) no additional consideration is paid or payable; and

    (b) the beneficial interests in the property change only to the extent necessary to correct the error.

    Are you in QLD?
    And Are you the sole shareholder?

    If so, you may be able to do it?? Better talk to your lawyer.

    Different states probably have similar provisions.
