New stamp duty exemption on business insurance for eligible small business entities in NSW

Date: 9 February 2018

From 1 January 2018 eligible small business entities are exempt from stamp duty on certain types of insurances in NSW. The exemption applies to the following types of business insurance:

  • commercial vehicle insurance;
  • commercial aviation insurance;
  • occupational indemnity insurance; and
  • product and public liability insurance.

To obtain the benefit of this exemption, business entities will need to advise their insurer or broker that they are eligible (using a declaration form provided by the insurer) prior to renewing or commencing an insurance policy.

To be eligible the entity must be carrying on a business and be likely to have aggregated turnover in the current year of less than $2 million. In calculating aggregated turnover, the turnover of any connected entities and affiliates must be included. Determining eligibility may not always be a straightforward exercise and care must be taken as penalties and interest may apply if an incorrect claim is made.
