This is a government charge incurred by the Purchaser of real estate, and payable to the State Revenue Office prior to lodging of the Transfer of Land at the Land Titles Office. It is usually paid by the Purchaser's lender after settlement, with funds retained from the loan moneys. If there is no lender involved, a cheque will be obtained from the Purchaser and paid to the State Revenue Office by the Purchaser's lawyer.
