At a glance
The scope is the same as our national capital gains tax valuation service. Reports are desktop valuations, so location does not affect the fee or the turnaround. Our office is in Adelaide; the sales evidence is drawn from the market the property sits in.
We also prepare a retrospective valuation in Brisbane for any past date.
Independent reports for any date, prepared and signed by a Chartered Accountant and Certified Property Valuer. Residential $297, commercial $595, AUD inc. GST, delivered in 24 to 48 hours.
Start your orderHow it worksCapital gains tax is a Commonwealth tax administered by the ATO. Transfer duty and land tax are Queensland taxes administered by the Queensland Revenue Office, with their own valuation rules and timing. A valuation prepared for CGT purposes is not automatically the figure the Queensland Revenue Office will adopt, and the reverse is also true.
Related-party transfers are where the two most often meet, since the same transaction can attract duty assessed on market value and a CGT event assessed on market value under separate regimes. Confirm the state tax treatment with your accountant or conveyancer.
Queensland Revenue Office public ruling DA505.1.2 sets out when a valuation is required for a residential property transfer. Family transfers are named directly: the Commissioner requires a valuation where the parties are family members, where there is no consideration, or where the consideration cannot be worked out at the time the duty liability arises. Duty is then assessed on the unencumbered value, and where a valuation gives a range, on the highest ascertainable value in it.
QRO accepts a valuation from a registered valuer, or from a real estate agent who is competent, independent and able to support the figure with at least three recent comparable sales. Either is generally accepted if it is dated within three months of the transfer being signed. The ruling also warns that if the Commissioner obtains its own valuation and the declared value falls short by more than 10 per cent, or by more than $100,000 on property over $1 million, the cost of that valuation is passed to the taxpayer.
For a Brisbane family moving a Paddington cottage or a Chermside unit to the next generation, that cost-recovery rule is the reason to get the value right first time. A valuation prepared with documented comparable sales at the transfer date meets QRO's standard and is also the figure the ATO substitutes under the market value substitution rule, so the same report covers the duty lodgement and both parties' CGT positions.

| Report | Fee (AUD inc. GST) | Turnaround |

Rural holdings, specialised commercial assets and development sites are quoted individually.
It can, materially. Flood impact and flood mapping affect what buyers will pay, and the effect differs by date, since the market's pricing of flood risk has shifted over time. A retrospective valuation assesses what was known and how the market was responding at the valuation date rather than applying today's view.
Generally no. Our reports are desktop valuations built on comparable sales and documentary evidence, which suits CGT work because most CGT valuation dates are historical. Where condition at the date is genuinely in question, tell us what you can supply about it.
Residential reports are $297 inc. GST and commercial reports are $595 inc. GST, fixed and quoted upfront, delivered in 24 to 48 hours. Retrospective dates cost the same as current dates.
Yes. QRO public ruling DA505.1.2 requires a valuation where the parties are family members or there is no consideration. It accepts a registered valuer, or a real estate agent supported by at least three recent comparable sales, dated within three months of signing. If QRO later obtains its own valuation and yours is more than 10 per cent low, you pay for theirs. One transfer-date valuation serves the duty assessment and the CGT market value substitution.
Yes. South East Queensland coastal property is valued at the standard fee, with specialised assets and larger holdings quoted individually. Properties combining holiday letting with private use often carry a partial main residence position, which needs the dates and values established carefully.
